Summary

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.

Critic reviews

'If you accept the terms of the waltz with Eudoxia/Eddie/Eadith, it's fun and – for White's shining prose – sometimes even more than that.' (Kirkus Reviews)
'Like every one of his previous novels, Patrick White’s latest work is both utterly characteristic and completely unpredictable.' (Australian Book Review)
