03.06.2008 - Interpretation of dali48

Patrick White (1912 - 1990) Australian novelist, short story writer, and playwright - White's international breakthrough novel was Voss (1957), a symbolic story of a doomed journey into the Australian desert - For the young we scarcely exist unless we are unavoidable members of the same family, farting, slobbering, perpetually mislaying teeth and bifocals - White was born in London of Australian parents. The early years of his life he spend in Australia, where his father, Victor Martindale, owned a large sheep farm - In 1925, he was sent to an English public school, Cheltenham College, an experience which he hated and referred to it as a '4-year prison sentence'. From 1932 to 1935 White studied French and German literature at King's College, Cambridge - During World War II White served in Royal Air Force Intelligence in Greece and The Middle East - After the war, White settled in Australia with a Greek friend, Manoly Lascaris - For the next 18 years they lived a farmer's life, selling flowers, vegetables, milk, and cream - In his late years White became vocal on such issues as Aboriginal rights and protection of environment - White depicted his life as a writer and a homosexual in Australian society - White died on September 30, 1990 in Sydney, after a long illness - Throughout his career as a writer, White had protected his own privacy - and on his own instruction, the news of his death was made public only after the funeral had taken place - A selection of White's letters, edited by his biographer D. Marr, was published in 1996. They cronicle the author's interest in Jewish culture after an early ignorant anti-semitism, his idyllic wartime period in West Africa, his anti-royalism sparked by the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, and his belief in the validity of homosexual unions ... (Peg. Auth. Cal., 1973)

In consequence, tensions both between Europe and Australia and between a "real" and a "symbolic" Australia became significant - There is also an obvious love-hate relationship with the country of his childhood - His disappointment in the materialism and shallowness of what he terms the Great Australian Emptiness - is very marked in the essay "The Prodigal Son" (1958), in which he expresses serious misgivings about the country's future (see e.g. Climate Change and bush fires in 2020 etc. - d.48) ... (P. White, Articles 1973)
