In six short stories Patrick White probes beneath the surface of events to expose a deeper, truer reality.

These six short novels and stories achieve the majesty and power of the best of Patrick White’s great novels. They probe beneath the surface of events – a sexual lapse, the unaccustomed climate of a foreign country, interruptions in a cherished routine, a death, a toothache – to expose a deeper, truer reality.

'To read Patrick White ... is to touch a source of power, to move through areas made new and fresh, to see men and women with a sharpened gaze.’
Daily Telegraph

'The Cockatoos ... is superb. It is a slow, beautiful dance of love and death.’
Chicago Tribune

‘White is a shifty, complex artist with the ability to hit and run at any point in his narrative – maintaining a distance from emotional involvement while inexorably tightening those screws.’
Kirkus Reviews
