This critical study considers Patrick White's 12 published novels, and traces the connections between his life and work. The novels from The Aunt's Story to Memoirs of Many in One are considered in terms of a number of overlapping contexts: White's ambivalence about sexuality, nationality and modernity; his evolving sense of the possibilities of the novel as a form; and the continuing presence of the themes, experiments and influences of the 1930s shaping his mature fiction.
