About this Item

Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on foredges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Dust jacket has small tears to top edge of back cover, now protected with book tape. The award-winning and bestselling biography of Australia's only Nobel Prize-winner for Literature. Patrick White (1912-1990), 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.
