Paperback. Etat : Fair. Patrick White, winner of the Nobel Prize and author of more than a dozen novels and plays - including Voss, The Vivisector and The Twyborn Affair - lived an extraordinary life. David Marr's brilliant biography draws not only on a wide range of original research but also on the single most difficult and important source of all: the man himself. In the weeks before his death, White read the final manuscript, which for richness of detail, authority and balance is stunning. Throughout his exciting narrative, Marr explores the roots of White's writing and unearths the raw material of his remarkable art. He makes plain the central fact of White's life as an artist: the homosexuality that formed his view of himself as an outcast and stranger able to penetrate the hearts of both men and women. Gracefully written and exhaustively researched, Patrick White is a biography of classic excellence - sympathetic, objective, penetrating and as blunt, when necessary, as White himself. Cover worn and spine sunned; tanned. 727 pages.…

Secondhand, Paperback. , . NB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only. A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: David Marr Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 10 David Marr's Patrick White: A Life is a monumental biography worthy of its monumental subject - the reclusive, difficult, brilliantly gifted Australian novelist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973. Drawing on years of intimate access, interviews, and correspondence, Marr traces White's extraordinary journey from a privileged but emotionally starved colonial childhood to his decades of literary struggle, hard-won fame, and fierce public engagement with Australian life and politics. He portrays White whole: the savage wit and volcanic rages, the deep tenderness, the complex homosexuality navigated across decades of secrecy and then openness, and the long, devoted partnership with Manoly Lascaris that anchored his life and work. Marr never flinches from White's cruelties or contradictions, yet the biography is ultimately an act of profound understanding - a portrait of a man who transformed his loneliness, his spirituality, and his contempt for mediocrity into some of the most demanding and rewarding fiction written in the English language. Published in 1991, it remains one of the great literary biographies in Australian letters. Secondhand, Paperback. …
