“Dean’s short stories have won many awards and plaudits from nearly every quarter. He deserves the praise; his short fiction is among the best in the country.” The Age, January 8, 2005.
The 19 short stories in this collection are a kind of ‘greatest hits’ retrospective of a distinguished literary career, … a book to be read, then shared, and never forgotten” (Bianca Ferguson, JAS Review of books, n.34, June 2005). More reviews

The extreme moments of history often defeat poetry. But if poetry endures… it has to go where journalism and historiography do not have to… into the core of the individual experience, where the politics, the economics, the conflict and disruption are not just thought but undergone and felt…’
– Lionel Abrahams on receiving the Olive Schreiner Prize for Poetry, 1986.
Chaos theory of the heart was published in 2005 by Roaring Forties Press in Hobart, in association with Jacana Media, Johannesburg
