Join J. M. Coetzee and Thomas Keneally in rediscovering Nobel
Laureate Patrick White
In 1973, Australian writer Patrick White was awarded the Nobel
Prize in Literature "for an epic and psychological narrative art
which has introduced a new continent into literature." Set in
nineteenth-century Australia, "Voss" is White's best-known book, a
sweeping novel about a secret passion between the explorer Voss and
the young orphan Laura. As Voss is tested by hardship, mutiny, and
betrayal during his crossing of the brutal Australian desert, Laura
awaits his return in Sydney, where she endures their months of
separation as if her life were a dream and Voss the only reality.
Marrying a sensitive rendering of hidden love with a stark
adventure narrative, "Voss" is a novel of extraordinary power and
virtuosity from a twentieth-century master.
