Patrick White

Patrick White (May 28, 1912 – September 30, 1990) was an Australian author. His writings make great use of the stream of consciousness technique. His first book, "The Ploughman and Other Poems", was published in 1935, and he went on to write 27 novels and eight plays. He received the 1973 Nobel Prize for Literature - the only Australian to be so honoured.
