I picked this book up as an intro/inspo in my attempt to read the intimidating White. If nothing else, it is an interesting stand alone exploration of Australian identity. I appreciated the look at White's partner's influence in particular.

Even though I don’t read that many books by men, I’m a Tsiolkas completist and I am currently trying to make my way through all of Patrick White’s novels too. This book was an easy, satisfying, nourishing read for that reason. I did get confused by the timeline and the structure didn’t quite coalesce for me, but it was a decent long form essay regardless.
