Extractions: Producers note Sitemap Credits Bibliography Producer's note Patrick White was a great writer and an Australian. He is the only Australian writer yet to have won the Nobel Prize for literature. Many Australians though have not even heard of him and his work seems to have been pushed back into the unreachable shelves of bookcases. During his lifetime his writing was sometimes called 'unAustralian' and his style was criticised as being 'intellectual' meaning not for the ordinary Australian reader. The negative criticisms seem to have hung on even after his style and breadth of topic developed, and as the literary awards and comparisons came through. People still think Patrick White is a British writer and a boring one at that. I wish they could hear the raucous laughter he can cause a reader, the sighs of recognition and the rapture. I read my first Patrick White in 1971 when I first arrived in Australia. I reread The Tree of Man fifteen years later to see if it had the same impact. It did. I have since read and reread all his novels but one. I wish I could share the pleasure they have given me.

Extractions: In the first months of 1973 White was busy tying up loose ends of short stories and correcting proofs for The Eye of the Storm . He also wrote the first draft of a new short story called 'The Cockatoos'. He would dedicate the collection to his red-haired schoolmate from Cheltenham and lifelong friend, Ron Waters. The Eye of the Storm was launched in London in late August and due out in Australia in October but while White awaited its release, the Nobel Committee in Sweden awarded him their 1973 Prize for Literature. study at Martin Road 'The battering began, front and back, dogs barking from laundry and kennel as the representatives of the media tramped around outside the house.

He wanted them all burnt, but thousands survive to reveal him as one of the greatest letter-writers of his time. Patrick White: Letters is an unexpected and final volume of prose by Australia's most acclaimed novelist. Only a few scraps of White's letters have been published before. From the aftermath of the First World War until his death in 1990, letters poured from White's pen: they are shrewd, funny, dramatic, pigheaded, camp, and above all, hauntingly beautiful. He wrote novels to sway a hostile world, but letters were for friends. The culmination of ten years' work and reflection by David Marr, author of the well-received biography Patrick White: A Life , the volume tells the story of White's life in his own words. These are the letters of a great writer, a profound critic, a gossip with the sharpest eyes and tongue, a man who loved and hated ferociously, a keen cook, an angry patriot, and a believer never free of doubt.

patrick white was the 1973 nobel Laureate in Literature for an epic and psychologicalnarrative art which has introduced a new continent into literature. .
http://www.git.com.au/~paulw/afol/afolbiog.html

Extractions: Various bits and pieces from a range of sources Patrick White was the 1973 Nobel Laureate in Literature "for an epic and psychological narrative art which has introduced a new continent into literature." "Patrick Victor Martindale White was an Australian citizen born abroad on May 28, 1912, in London, England. His parents were Victor Matindale White and Ruth Withycombe. White had spent most of his boyhood in Australia, but returned to England to study languages at King's College, Cambridge University, where he received his B.A. in 1935. During the Second World War he joined the Royal Air Force, serving as an intelligence officer in the Middle East. After the war, he returned to Sydney. "In 1973, White was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his realistic portrayal of Australian life in such novels as "The Eye of the Storm" and "Voss." His portrayals, described by the New York Times as often "harsh" and "unflattering" made him less popular with his countrymen than with readers abroad in England and the U.S. However, despite his criticism, for White, Australia was always his intellectual and spiritual homeland: "It's the country of my origins - that, I think, is what matters in the end, whether one likes it or not...it's from Australian earth, Australian air, that I derive my literary, my spiritual, sustenance. Even at its most hateful, Australia is necessary to me..." (New York Times, Obituaries, October 1, 1990). "An avowed socialist who was unafraid to criticize government, especially in its treatment of the Aborigines, White openly boycotted the 1988 celebrations commemorating two hundred years of white settlement in Australia.

Extractions: E scritor australiano, premio Nobel, nacido en Londres durante una de las visitas periódicas de sus padres. White volvió a Londres para asistir a la Universidad de Cambridge e ingresó en la Royal Air Force (RAF) durante la II Guerra Mundial (1939-1945). Su primera novela, El valle feliz (1939), está ambientada en Australia, como también sus famosas obras posteriores El árbol del hombre (1955), que trata de las dificultades de un granjero en las tierras salvajes de Australia, y Tierra ignota (1957); ambas consideradas como sus obras más destacadas y las que consolidaron su reputación. También escribió El carro de los elegidos Las esferas del mandala (1966) y El foco de la tempestad (1973). Simbólicas y alegóricas, tratan de la búsqueda individual del sentido de la existencia en un país duro y potencialmente brutal que busca su propia identidad. El caso Twyborn (1979) analiza la confusión sexual y espiritual, y termina en el bombardeo de Londres. En 1973 se convirtió en el primer australiano que ganó el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su "narrativa épica y psicológica que ha introducido un nuevo continente en la literatura". La crítica ha elogiado la gran originalidad de su estilo, indirecto pero dotado de un enorme poder descriptivo. Su autobiografía, Grietas en el cristal , se publicó en 1980. ©

Extractions: On Patric White document.write("") Flaws In The Glass, the memoirs of Patrick White, the Australian writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Of course, I knew he was gay and had a relationship of over 40 years, till he died, with his partner, Amnoly Lascaris, but for some reason I'd got the idea that he was deeply repressed about it and refused to talk about it, and after he died Lascaris burned all his papers so it would never come out. ...one more thing before we drop Australia as a topic. Coincidentally, after sending that Austrlian images posting, I was in a bookshop and picked up a copy of Flaws In The Glass, the memoirs of Patrick White, the Australian writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Of course, I knew he was gay and had a relationship of over 40 years, till he died, with his partner, Amnoly Lascaris, but for some reason I'd got the idea that he was deeply repressed about it and refused to talk about it, and after he died Lascaris burned all his papers so it would never come out. But the memoirs show absolutely the opposite. White is quite open about discussing his homosexuality, and his relationship with Lascaris, and he seems to have absolutely no hang ups or conflicts about it. Of course, he's doing the writing here, so maybe he did and isn't saying, but its really quite moving the way he talks about Lascaris and the strength of their partnership in such an easy way.

White was a solitary, precocious, asthmatic child and at thirteen was sent to an English boarding school, a miserable experience. At eighteen he returned to Australia and worked as a jackaroo on an isolated sheep station. Two years later, he went up to Cambridge, settling afterwards in London, where he published his first two books. White joined the RAF in 1940 and served as an intelligence officer in the Middle East. At war's end, he and his partner, Manoly Lascaris, bought an old house in a Sydney suburb, where they lived with their four Schnauzers. For the next eighteen years, the two men farmed their six acres while White worked on some of his finest novels, including The Tree of Man Voss (1957), and Riders in the Chariot (1961). When he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973, he did not attend the ceremony but, with his takings and some of his own money, created an award to help older writers who hadn't received their due: the first recipient was Christina Stead. Late in life, when asked for a list of his loves, White responded: "Silence, the company of friends, unexpected honesty, reading, going to the pictures, dreams, uncluttered landscapes, city streets, faces, good food, cooking small meals, whisky, sex, pugs, the thought of an Australian republic, my ashes floating off at last."

The scene: a grand house near Centennial Park in the winter of 1988. A distinguished but curmudgeonly looking 76-year-old man sits uncomfortably at a broad desk. Though it has been created for him, the desk is too small to contain his tall frame. His legs barely squeeze between the drawers. There's a portable Optima typewriter, but the man is purposefully scribbling with a red-inked ballpoint pen, adding waspish notes to himself which glare out of the page since the rest of the manuscript is written in blue pen.

Extractions: PATRICK WHITE, PAINTER MANQUE: Paintings, Painters and Their Influence on His Writing By Helen Verity Hewitt Miegunyah Press, 181pp, $49.95. Patrick White's interest in the visual arts wasn't just one more of your average writer's cultural affectations - it was a consuming passion. He knew how disappointing words can seem, understood that proper or infelicitous grammatical moments do little more than signify social position or ambition: "I do think composers and musicians come closer to God, also some painters; it is the writer who deals in stubborn, colourless words who is always stumbling and falling." White, or Donald Black, as fellow author Hal Porter liked to call him, was into the mystic. Note, "some painters". Indeed, it turned out that holding White in thrall was "the artist" as much as the work of art; more than anything, he wanted to connect with the real creativity of painting. Prior to his winning the Nobel Prize his use of language as much as his ideological quirkiness grated on the sensibilities of a number of our suburban-grown literati.
