The author's third novel, an ambiguous exploration of loneliness and self-discovery that garnered White very little critical attention at the time of publication. Nevertheless, he went on to write such classics as Voss (1957) and Riders in the Chariot (1961) and in 1973 became the first Australian awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
