Dark Back of Time By Javier Marías (Penguin)

The Vivisector By Patrick White (Vintage)

Last update: Sunday, December 15, 2013, 18:09 | By: Jeanette Rehnstrom

Patrick White nowadays forms an integral part of the Australian literary landscape, but that was not so when he first began to write. Initially he was ignored in his homeland, while he garnered increasing appreciation in the US and UK. The main reason for Australia turning its back on him seemed to be his ‘difficult’ writing. White still remains partly on the fringes; people really should know of him, should read him, but the reality is that some cannot muster the effort required. The Vivisector is not one of his more complex novels, and so is perhaps a safe start for those of you that have hesitated to venture into his peculiar world.
