Softcover. Zustand: Fine. WEST AUSTRALIANA LITERARY Kenneth (Seaforth) Mackenzie was an Australian poet and novelist. In August 1944 he witnessed the Japanese break-out at the Cowra prisoner of war camp, which became the subject of his third novel, Dead Men Rising.Kenneth Ivo Brownley Langwell (Seaforth) Mackenzie (1913-1955), poet and novelist, was born on 25 September 1913 in South Perth, son of Australian-born parents Hugh Mackenzie, farmer, and his wife Marguerite Christina, nà e Pryde-Paterson. After his parents were divorced in 1919, Kenneth was raised by his mother and maternal grandfather. Educated at South Perth and Pinjarra state schools, and (as a boarder) at Guildford Grammar School, he took no interest in sport and studied only when he felt inclined. At 16 he ran away from school and refused to return. Finding Muresk Agricultural College even more uncongenial than boarding school, he entered the University of Western Australia in 1932 to read law. He gained a reputation for spasmodic brilliance and eccentricity, and left before the end of his first year.Following occasional employment as a journalist on theÂWest Australian, Mackenzie travelled to Melbourne in 1933. In the height of the Depression he took a job as a scullery-assistant and survived on the charity of his father's sisters. He moved to Sydney in the following year. There he reviewed books, films and drama for theÂSydney Morning Herald, wrote forÂFox Movietone NewsÂand contributed toÂSmith's Weekly, through which he metÂKenneth Slessor. ImpressingÂNorman Lindsay, he was admitted to his Bohemian circle: wherever Mackenzie was, 'wild comedy and wild adventures tended to break out'. He was strong, muscular and blonde, and immensely attractive to certain women. On 24 December 1934 at the registrar general's office, Sydney, he married Kathleen Bartlett, nà e Loveday; born in England, she was a 25-year-old widow who had taken a job as a pastry-cook.His first novel,ÂThe Young Desire It, was published (1937) under the pseudonym 'Seaforth' Mackenzie by Jonathan Cape in London; sensitive, vital and erotic, it was to win the Australian Literary Society's prize in 1939. A sense of moral ambiguity and impending chaos, evident in Mackenzie's second novel,ÂChosen PeopleÂ(London, 1938), began to invade his own life as he became addicted to alcohol. The outbreak of World War II destroyed what vague plans he had to make a name as a writer in England. Mobilized in the Australian Military Forces, he began full-time duty on 8 April 1943, but was rejected for active service because of poor eyesight. Mackenzie was posted to the 22nd Garrison Battalion at Cowra prisoner-of-war camp. In August 1944 he witnessed the Japanese break-out, the subject of his third novel,ÂDead Men RisingÂ(New York, 1951). Two collections of his poetry were published in his lifetime,ÂOur EarthÂ(Sydney, 1937) andÂThe Moonlit DoorwayÂ(Sydney, 1944). Medically unfit, he was discharged from the army on 11 June 1945. His drinking habits (claret with breakfast) and lack of qualifications meant that he was virtually unemployable. ix, 237 p. : ports. ; 21 cm. #010923 Includes bibliographical references: p. 233-35.
