Good summary of White’s impact

Interesting take on a great of Australian literature by a modern, thoughtful writer. Tsiolkas is as adept at literary criticism as he is at intriguing fiction.

Outsiders impression of an outsider

Outstanding perspective of a writer who transcended his own myopic background to write in a universal language.
