	Patrick White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Patrick White (May 28, 1912 – September 30, 1990) was an Australian author who is widely regarded as one of the greatest English-language novelists of the 20th century.
		White’s biographer, David Marr, wrote that they would walk arm in arm to London shows, stand around stage doors to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars and give practical demonstrations of chorus girls’ high kicks, with appropriate noises.
		White refused to see it when it was first performed at the Adelaide Festival, because Queen Elizabeth II had been invited, instead choosing to see it in Sydney.

	Patrick White - Existential Explorer
		Patrick White was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973, the Swedish Academy's commendation referred to the author's epic and psychological narrative art as having introduced a new continent into literature.
		White's "Australianness" and commitment to the continent are nevertheless generally recognized in the sense that his return brought true colours back to his palette and, in The Aunt's Story (1947), introduced a new style into his canon, initiating novels of depth and dedication.
		The reason why Patrick White has frequently been accused of elitism seems to be his fierce disdain of the commonplace, his horror of the average, and his contempt for the materialist attitudes of mundane suburbia that are manifest in all his writing.

		Patrick White's award has always seemed to Australians to have tremendous significance, perhaps because it put to rest internationally the old colonial worries about whether Australians were capable of producing truly great art.
		There were, of course, important writers before and contemporary with Patrick White, and he himself named a number as worthy of the acclaim surrounding his own work.
		But leaving aside the debates and concerns about what constitutes "great art" and "great literature", there is a more "archaeological" approach to a nation's literary output, and one that is peculiarly amenable to electronic forms of publication and dissemination.
