Patrick White's brilliant 1961 novel, set in an Australian suburb,
intertwines four deeply different lives. An Aborigine artist, a
Holocaust survivor, a beatific washerwoman, and a childlike heiress
are each blessed--and stricken--with visionary experiences that may
or may not allow them to transcend the machinations of their fellow
men. Tender and lacerating, pure and profane, subtle and sweeping,
"Riders in the Chariot" is one of the Nobel Prize winner's boldest
books.
