David Malouf on Patrick White

Via The Complete Review. The Times has just published a piece by Australian novelist David Malouf on fellow Aussie author, Nobel Laureate Patrick White, who seems to have fallen into disrepute in his native land: Patrick White Reappraised

Incidentally, I am just about to begin White's novel The Tree of Man. The only White novel I have read so far is The Solid Mandala (which Malouf mentions in some detail). It's literature of the highest quality and I heartily recommend it.
