These six short novels and stories achieve the majesty and power of the best of Patrick White's great novels. They probe beneath the surface of events a sexual lapse, the unaccustomed climate of a foreign country, interruptions in a cherished routine, a death, a toothache to expose a deeper, truer reality. Includes "A Woman's Hand", "The Full Belly", "The Night, the Prowler", "Five-Twenty", "Sicilian Vespers" and "The Cockatoos."
