About Patrick White
Australian novelist who turned the continent’s vast landscapes into psychological and spiritual terrain. His fiction combines harsh realism, Christian symbolism, black comedy and dense streams of consciousness to follow outsiders, visionaries and people consumed by absolute quests.
