The Twyborn Affair




From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, a novel that satisfies as much as it challenges.

Eddie Twyborn is bisexual and beautiful, the son of a Judge and a drunken mother. With this 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 on a journey into the ambiguous landscapes, sexual, psychological and spiritual, of the human condition.

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 pursues them with a single-minded energy and vision.

Guardian

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