Product Description

In this remarkable self-portrait, Patrick White explains how on the very rare occasions when he re-reads a passage from one of his books, he recognises very little of the self he knows. This 'unknown' is the man interviewers and visiting students expect to find, but 'unable to produce him', he prefers to remain private, or as private as anyone who has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature can ever be. In this book, it is the self Patrick White does recognise, the one he sees reflected in the glass.

5.0 out of 5 stars White on White, March 25, 2009
By P. Schumacher (atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you like Patrick White's novels, you will like this autobiographical sketch.

His writing here has the same jewel-like clarity and stunning depth.

He is by turns sardonic, austere, self-deprecating to the point of self-bashing, and a wonderful raconteur.

The part about meeting Queen Elizabeth is particularly amusing.

As always, White creates a world inside your mind, with as much color and life as your own thoughts.
