The Tree of Man
by Patrick White.
Eyre & Spottiswoode, London, April 1956.
First edition, second impression.
“there are novels that in the reading enact a transformation that sees their characters and language become part of oneself, that literally change the way you look upon the world. I wish I had it in me to write an epic such as The Tree of Man … am ashamed that it took me so long to come to this understanding of White. And also pissed off: why didn’t my tutors, my fellow writers and our critics make sure I got there earlier?” – Christos Tsiolkas, ‘I saw Patrick White as another dead white male. But his writing changed my world’, The Guardian, 23 May 2018.
Condition: Dust jacket is scuffed on back and has small tears top and bottom of spine. Spotting to first few and last pages but otherwise in good condition for its age.
