Patrick White: Selected Writings edited by Alan Lawson

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Some creasing to book covers. Pages have started to sun.

This collection presents Patrick White, who was passionately involved in the world around him and whose writing is full of wit, humour, sex and love. White displayed his keen interest in social and political events in his fiction and public statements.

The collection opens with his first published story in 1937, The Twitching Colonel, and contains his Dancing with Both Feet on the Ground, published in 1988, two years before his death.

Editorial notes to each section provide a background to the sometimes unfamiliar pieces, many appearing in book form for the first time. Includes a select bibliography.
