Patrick White


Tirra Lirra is finished. This is my next read. It is one of 9 Patrick White books on the list. I know nothing of this author except perhaps I've heard of one of his books, The Vivisector.
The Tree of Man is the book I bought on my recent trip to Sydney; it was published in 1955.
Inside the front cover, White is described thus: "The great poet of Australian landscape, he has turned its vast empty spaces into great mythic landscapes of the soul."
