Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The full story of an Australian literary enigmaWhy did Elizabeth Harrower - one of Australia's most important postwar authors - stop writing at the height of her powers?After publishing four books that earned the admiration of Patrick White, Shirley Hazzard and Christina Stead, Harrower published no more novels. She faded from the literary landscape, until being rediscovered decades later to international acclaim.In Looking for Elizabeth, Helen Trinca unravels this mystery. Exploring the personal and artistic forces that shaped Harrower's writing, she draws a sensitive portrait of a wounded 'divorced child' and the legacy of abandonment she carried throughout her life. She probes the contradictions of a woman who wielded extraordinary insight into others' lives but guarded her own fiercely. And she vividly brings to life the literary circles of this fascinating era in Australian culture.Based on interviews with Harrower and full access to her archive, Looking for Elizabeth is the first full biography of this significant figure in Australian letters.'A masterful deep dive into the enigmatic life of a writer who stunned, and then stopped. This is a monumental addition to Australian literary biography that's destined to become a classic.' -Nikki Gemmell'A biography that is every bit as beguiling and complex as its towering subject. Exacting, exhaustive and utterly essential. The more I read, the more compelled I felt to cut out a picture of Elizabeth Harrower and stick it above my writing desk.' -Trent Dalton Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
