	The Existence Machine: Patrick White
		As has been reported elsewhere, Patrick White's novel The Eye of the Storm was used in another of those tricks in which a portion of a prize-winning novel of the past is typed out and re-submitted to publishers, passed off as new work by a fictional writer.
		As in the other cases, the publishers declined to take on White's novel, employing varying degrees of condescension and scorn in their responses.
		And, yes, though books like White's, which doubtless didn't sell well at any time, did indeed, obviously, get published in the past, the industry is much different now, at least the mainstream houses are anyway.

		Although Patrick White’s novels are alive in the memories of those members of the Australian Society of Authors who recently voted five of them onto its list of the 40 best Australian books, one has to wonder what kind of life they lead in society at large.
		White, who in 1973 won the Nobel Prize for Literature and who, 20 years ago, was extolled as the greatest writer Australia has produced, is now available to Australian readers in editions published only in Britain - a sure sign that he is not widely read in this country.

		Unless Patrick white so;ld his first novel to the very first person in publishing he syubmitted ot to, which I doubt, then his work must havve leapt over the usual hurdles most writers face.
		The fact that White was not only published but esteemed by enough people to eventually capture the Nobel Prize means that it was vetted more than once and repeatedly survived the process.
		So either the publishers who lauded Patrick White in the past were wrong, or the current crop are wrong, or tastes have changed and 'great literature' is exposed as whatever suits the fad of the moment.

		It places White in postwar Australia, arguing that he is best regarded as a writer whose rather conventional modernist writings negotiated the end of colonialist relations with Britain.
		It addresses connections between White's homoerotic sexuality and his writing head-on, suggesting that many of his texts, notably Voss, attain some of their most powerful effects from being written in and about the closet.
		Professor During also views Patrick White as an autobiographical writer who drew on his life-history to construct an image of himself as a genius: a strategy which successfully set him at the head of Australian national literature.

		White analyses the feelings and motivations of his characters with wisdom and psychological insight, but beneath the veneer of great style lies a fundamental question of belonging.
