Extractions: In fact I enjoyed every minute of my life at King's, especially the discovery of French and German literature. Each vacation I visited either France or Germany to improve my languages. I wrote fitfully, bad plays, worse poetry. Then, after taking my degree, the decision had to be made: what to do? It was embarrassing to announce that I meant to stay in London and become a writer when I had next to nothing to show. To my surprise, my bewildered father, who read little beyond newspapers and stud-books, and to whom I could never say a word if we found ourselves stranded alone in a room, agreed to let me have a small allowance on which to live while trying to write. At this period of my life I was in love with the theatre and was in and out of it three or four nights of the week. I tried unsuccessfully to get work behind the scenes. I continued writing the bad plays which fortunately nobody would produce, just as no one did me the unkindness of publishing my early novels. A few sketches and lyrics appeared in topical revues, a few poems were printed in literary magazines. Then, early in 1939, a novel I had managed to finish, called

Extractions: The complete review 's Review The great authors and White is one of the great ones find, after their deaths, all their diverse and sundry writing collected. So White's letters now make a fine, fat volume (edited by his biographer David Marr) but before the letter collection came this thin volume of essays, speeches, and articles. They run the gamut, from his Nobel Lecture (which he did not personally deliver, as he did not travel to Stockholm to receive the prize) to a number of speeches against nuclear weapons and for the preservation of various parts of Sydney to a Credo. There are interesting titbits here. The Credo is fine, and there are some autobiographical details of interest in the Nobel speech and various others. However, there are also a number of pieces concerned with Australian politics that are dated and, for foreigners and those who are not Aussiephiles, of basically no interest whatsoever. Certainly the issues at issue are of significance, and White expresses his arguments well (and sometimes with an appealing bite to them), but it is not enthralling enough.

Extractions: page: The gay Australian Nobel laureate Patrick White wrote explicitly about homosexuality only in his novel The Twyborn Affair and his autobiography Flaws in the Glass By the end of his life, White ranked as Australia's greatest novelist and, as winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973, among the greatest fiction writers of the modern period. His major achievement was the production of twelve novels between 1939 and 1986, including The Aunt's Story Voss The Vivisector (1970), and The Twyborn Affair Homosexuality is an explicit interest only in the last-named of these novels, but in Flaws in the Glass , the "self-portrait" he published in 1981, White publicly declared his homosexuality in an extraordinarily candid and laconic record of his life and opinions. In Australian terms, White was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His parents were members of the wealthy Hunter Valley grazier society of New South Wales, a tightly knit conservative clan that exerted considerableif indirectinfluence on the state government.

The first publication of White's work was Thirteen Poems , privately printed by his mother, Ruth White, in about 1930. Only two copies have survived. This copy was acquired in 1996 from a Sydney bookseller. It is Patrick White's own copy with his bookplate attached. White destroyed many of his literary manuscripts and directed that all others be destroyed after his death. The manuscript version of his minor work, Memoirs of Many in One (1986), was an exception. White made it available to a London-based charity as a fundraiser for African refugees.

Extractions: Patrick White in full PATRICK VICTOR MARTINDALE WHITE (b. May 28, 1912, London, Eng.d. Sept. 30, 1990, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia), Australian novelist and playwright who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973. White was born in London while his parents were there on a visit, and he returned to England (after 12 years in Australia) for schooling. He then worked for a time at his father's sheep ranch in Australia before returning to study modern languages at King's College, Cambridge. By the time he served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, he had already published some early work, traveled extensively, and been involved with the theatre. After 1945 he returned to Australia, but also lived intermittently in England and in the United States. White's first novel, Happy Valley (1939), was set in New South Wales and showed the influence of D.H. Lawrence and Thomas Hardy. The material of White's later novels is distinctly Australian, but his treatment of it has a largeness of vision not limited to any one country or period. White saw Australia as a country in a highly volatile process of growth and self-definition, and his novels explore the possibilities of savagery to be found within such a context. His conception of Australia reflected in The Tree of Man Voss Riders in the Chariot The Solid Mandala (1966), and

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Patrick (Victor Martindale) White (1912-1990) Australian novelist, short story writer, and playwright, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973. White combined in his works myth, symbols, and allegory. His international breakthrough novel was VOSS (1957), a symbolic story of a doomed journey into the Australian desert. RIDERS IN THE CHARIOT (1961) was set in the imaginary Sydney suburban town, Sarsaparilla, White's Yoknapatawpha . These works established him as one of the most important modern writers. In his own country White had to wait a long time before his painful depiction of the Australian middle class was accepted. "I would like to believe in the myth that we grow wiser with age. In a sense my disbelief is wisdom. Those of a middle generation, if charitable or sentimental, subscribe to the wisdom myth, while the callous see us as dispensable objects, like broken furniture or dead flowers. For the young we scarcely exist unless we are unavoidable members of the same family, farting, slobbering, perpertually mislaying teeth and bifocals." (from Three Uneasy Pieces Patrick White was born in London of Australian parents. His youth was spent partly in Australia, where his father owned a large sheep farm, and partly in England. At the age of 13 he was sent to an English public school, Cheltenham College, an experience which he hated and referred to it as a 'four-year prison sentence'. After returning to Australia he worked for two years as a jackaroo on a remote sheep station. From 1932 to 1935 White studied French and German literature at King's College, Cambridge. In 1935 White received his B.A. and settled in London, where wrote several unpublished works. His first published novel, the modernist HAPPY VALLEY (1939), was set in New South Wales. It was followed by THE LIVING AND THE DEAD (1941), set in pre-war London, and THE AUNT'S STORY (1948), a comic account of the travels of an independent Australian spinster, Theodora Goodman.

http://www.boston.com/globe/search/stories/nobel/1992/1992q.html

Extractions: It is a paradox of the best biographies that we will read, hungrily, hundreds of pages about someone we would be reluctant to meet or spend much time with. Patrick White was a difficult man who wrote difficult novels that won him the Nobel Prize in 1973. He was an Australian and a homosexual, both circumstances that contributed to a sense of isolation that is one of the major subjects of his fiction. His life was eventful because of the worlds he lived in. He was born into a prominent and wealthy Australian family; an independent income is what made his writing possible, because during long years before the Nobel, he never made more than $15,000 a year from his work, and often quite a bit less. He was educated in England, traveled extensively in America and served during World War II in North Africa, where he met his life's companion, Manoly Lascaris, a Greek. After the war, he returned to Australia, where for many years he raised dogs and ran a farm; it was there that he wrote most of the books that won him the prize "The Tree of Man," "Voss," "Riders in the Chariot," "The Solid Mandala," "The Vivisector." Later came "The Eye of the Storm," "A Fringe of Leaves," "The Twyborn Affair" and the memoir ''Flaws in the Glass." To outsiders, and even to his friends, he was an austere and forbidding figure; he complicated the task of biography by keeping many of the compartments and people of his life quite separate. He was quick to anger, never forgiving; one of his closest friendships ended when the friend declined to try a new cauliflower salad. His raging dinners were famous for his cooking, his alcoholic temper, his delight in creating a combative atmosphere. Visitors said it was like dining at Wuthering Heights.
