• W2605118391 abstract "The Patrick White literary award was created in 1972 to recognize writers have made a substantial contribution to Australian literature but [. . .] may not have received due recognition for their work. In 2009, the Victorian novelist, essayist, and poet Beverley Farmer is its worthy recipient. Farmer's work has not always drawn popular attention but has consistently engendered respect from the Australian literary community since the late 1960s when her lyrical, closely observed short stories depicted domestic and generational tensions and charted contemporary shifts in Australian culture. Her first novel, Alone, attracted notice for its sexual politics rather than as a carefully orchestrated reply to T. S. Eliot in its portrayal of the artist as young woman. It innovatively demonstrated a potential to engage in experimentation with narrative methodology that became a feature of subsequent writing. In the 1990s, A Body of Water crossed generic lines between journal, essay, and short story to win awards for nonfiction. The most recent book of essays, The Bone House, explores further horizons. The cover of the Giramondo Press publication describes this as extended meditation on the life of the body and the life of the mind, each based on a single theme and woven out of the same few elemental symbols of earth, and water, fire and blood, light and darkness. Patrick White well understood that writers of caliber might not be feted in best-seller lists, but that a great deal of scholarship and fine writing nevertheless added to the nation's literary health. In today's world, where the writer is marketed along with the text, a modest or reclusive artist is further disadvantaged.The award places Farmer among peers like Christina Stead (White's initial recipient), Elizabeth Harrower, Thea Astley, David Martin, Janette Turner Hospital, Fay Zwicky, David Rowbotham, John Romeril, and Gerard Murnane (who in November 2009 won the Melbourne Prize for his novel Barley Patch, also published by Giramondo.) On hearing the news, Beverley Farmer acknowledged her pleasure in being granted a place in this prestigious company, particularly citing Rosemary Dobson, Randolph Stow, and Marjorie Barnard as guiding lights. Farmer's preferences are telling: a meditative poet who celebrates the wonder, fragility, and tenacity of human existence; a writer of fiction whose exploration of the metaphysics of being and spiritual journeying was influential; and a pioneering writer of short fiction whose insightful, nonromantic portraits of relationships and women's lives became an exemplar for women writers in this country. These are some of the central preoccupations in Farmers' work.In the prize-winning novels, The Seal Woman (1992) and The House in the Light (1995), Farmer uses montage-like sequences to investigate a broad spectrum of diverse cultural myths and realities. In the former, the protagonist confronts the hard truths of imminent world environmental damage while accumulating stories that, if attended to, offer wisdom to further generations. In the latter there is an intricate interplay between two women constrained by personality, family, and conflicting needs and ideologies. …" @default.
