Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. Proof Copy. Bound in pale green card covers with Cape logos this very rare copy appears unread. This is one of two variant bindings recorded which differ in size This copy is 6cms thick. The Vivisector is the eighth published novel by Patrick White. First published in 1970, it details the lifelong creative journey of fictional artist/painter Hurtle Duffield. Named for its sometimes cruel analysis of Duffield and the major figures in his life, the book explores universal themes like the suffering of the artist, the need for truth and the meaning of existence. The longest of White's novels, The Vivisector was written in 1968. While the novel was dedicated to painter Sidney Nolan, White denied any connection between Hurtle Duffield, the novel's central character, and Nolan or any other painter. Other literary critics have interpreted the novel as being largely autobiographical, with Australian literary critic Geordie Williamson noting that "The Vivisector is a great Australian novel. I think it is one of White's, I think it's White's great autobiography to be honest." The Lost Man Booker Prize was a special edition of the Man Booker Prize awarded by a public vote in 2010 to a novel from 1970 as the books published in 1970 were not eligible for the Man Booker Prize due to a rules alteration; until 1970 the prize was awarded to books published in the previous year, while from 1971 onwards it was awarded to books published the same year as the award. The prize was won by J. G. Farrell for Troubles. Tobias Hill said Patrick White, noted for requesting that his name be struck off the 1979 Man Booker prize shortlist and known for his general disapproval of receiving awards, would be "spinning in his grave" if he had won the Lost Man Booker Prize for The Vivisector.[7] However, White's literary executor, Barbara Mobbs, said he had left behind "no written evidence" that he would disapprove of a posthumous award and that she was "not going to run around saying take him out" Ref TT6.

Hardback. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First UK edition. First UK edition. Crown 8vo. 642pp. Terracotta coloured cloth boards, titled in gilt to spine, black top-stain; off-white endpapers. Wrap-around jacket design by Tom Adams (priced 40s/£2.00 to front flap). 1/12,000 copies published on 22nd of October 1970. With Cape making the publication a literary event, the first issue sold out quickly, despite mixed reviews, with another 10,000 copies flying off the shelves in the author's native Australia a few weeks later. Hint of tanning to verso of dustwrapper spine, else Fine. Shortlisted for the Lost Man Booker Prize, an award belatedly conferred in 2010 in place of the 'missed' year of 1970, when eligibility criteria were changed. A great painter ruthlessly dissects the lives of his immediate circle with both clarity and cruelty. Largely autobiographical and the longest of White's novels, the book was dedicated to Sidney Nolan and his wife Cynthia, but its creator always denied any connection between its central character and the painter. Its genesis seems to have been the receipt of a sad letter from the aging artist Roy de Maistre (1894-1968). Sharing patrician backgrounds, sexual proclivities, and both immersed in the arts, De Maistre became a mentor to the young White in 1930's London, and was the dedicatee of his first novel, The Happy Valley (1939). In serious contention for the Nobel Prize in the year of its publication, the Swedish Academy reconsidered following members' objections to the central theme of the novel, which posed the question of whether it was possible to be both a human being and an artist. White eventually won it in 1973. "One of the great magicians of fiction. White's scope is vast and his invention endless." -The Observer. [Hubber & Smith L2] 663. N° de réf. du vendeur 74Y 3UY
