One of the great magicians of fiction ... White’s scope is vast and his invention endless. Angus Wilson, OBSERVER

Eddie Twyborn is bisexual and beautiful, the son of a Judge and a drunken mother. With his androgynous hero - Eudoxia/Eddie/Eadith Twyborn - and through his search for identity, for self-affirmation and love in its many forms, Patrick White takes us into the ambiguous landscapes, sexual, psychological and spiritual, of the human condition.

Praise for The Twyborn Affair

[An] exploration of an extremely slippery characterological realm offers many substantial pleasures

Benjamin DeMott, New York Times

It challenges comparison with some of the world's most bizarre masterpieces

Financial Times

Patrick White is, in the finest sense, a world novelist. His themes are catholic and complex and he persues them with a single-minded energy and vision

Robert Nye, Guardian
