About this product
Product Information
A biography of Patrick White, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, author of more than a dozen novels and many other books, a spokesman for (and against) an Australia he both hated and loved. The author secured White's co-operation in tracking down sources and using private documentary material, but retained the right to write what he wished. Marr evokes the wealthy back-country ranching society out of which White sprang, the grand houses in Sydney and the sheep stations the size of Belgium; the jackarooing days that laid the groundwork for his first fiction; London before the war and the North African desert where he served as an unlikely intelligence officer; the travels and love affairs in Europe and America; the inevitable return to Australia and the political and aesthetic battles that engaged him during his last years. At the same time, Marr makes plain the shape of White's emotional life as a homosexual, especially its central relationship, the companionship of Manoly Lascaris, his close friend of nearly 50 years. The author also wrote The Ivanov Trial and Barwick , which won the New South Wales Premier's Prize.

Wonderful thankyou. Just as described, a sealed Folio Society book that came quickly :-) Note for future pristine Folio Books like this. Unfortunately the Jiffy bag it was sent in was damaged in one corner by the postal service and thus tore through into the Folio Book seal and slightly damaged it. Luckily the book is for me at a good price, but if it was meant for a gift or a real collector it would have been upsetting. An extra layer of packaging inside the jiffy bag would have helped. :-)

My second attempt at buying this book and success ! The first copy was a library copy, which had not been described as such & not stamped withdrawn/cancelled + it was posted to me in a thin plastic bag ( that supplier is now 'history' ). - This copy was as described, like new, correctly packaged, and on time. The difference between a 'bookshop'and a 'charity shop gleaning empire' ( in their defence, they did refund me promptly & in full). I know where I'll go first in future though. Thanks
