NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 727pp. Trade Paperback. This is a huge and spellbinding book by the brilliant essayist and biographer, David Marr, about a paradoxical, complex, acerbic human being who made and destroyed friendships with just about everyone, yet maintained a wonderful and unique relationship with his partner for life, Manoly Lascaris. From his first successful novel, 'Happy Valley' to his late 'self-portrait', 'Flaws in the Glass', Patrick White was an Australian literary icon with his many highly esteemed novels, plays, and stories, winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 1973 for his novel, 'The Eye of the Storm'.
