Book description
This collection of speeches by the Australian Nobel prize-winning
author have provoked extreme reactions in Australia. While members of
the establishment and parts of the media have dismissed him as a bitter
old man, the young and needy have responded to him with something close
to adulation. Patrick White has written novels, short stories and
plays, including
Voss, Riders in the Chariot, The Vivisector, The Twyborn Affair
and, most recently, Three Uneasy Pieces.
In 1973 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
