Synopsis In the memoir writing collected here, Nobel Prize winning author Patrick White is candid and sometimes snarly. Known for his unflinching politics (for example, he refused to attend the premiere of his opera because the Queen would be there), White holds little back in his accounts of his own life and personal travels, as well as in some gossipy indulgences. The book is divided into three sections: "Self Portrait," "Journeys," and "Episodes and Epitaphs."
