Description The Details:This copy is in good condition. Unclipped. Some mild foxing to end pages. Text is clean. Boards bright. Includes Patrick White postage stamp, loose. The dust jacket is in good condition. Normal shelf wear. The Story:Hurtle Duffield, a painter, coldly dissects the weaknesses of any and all who enter his circle. His sister’s deformity, a grocer’s moonlight indiscretion, the passionate illusions of the women who love him – all are used as fodder for his art. It is only when Hurtle meets an egocentric adolescent whom he sees as his spiritual child does he experience a deeper, more treacherous emotion in this tour de force of sexual and psychological menace that sheds brutally honest light on the creative experience. (Good Reads) The Author:Patrick Victor Martindale White was an Australian author widely regarded as one of the major English-language novelists of the 20th century, and winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize for Literature.
