The Twyborn Affair

Eddie Twyborn is bisexual and beautiful, the son of a Judge and a drunken mother. With his 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 into the ambiguous landscapes, sexual, psychological and spiritual, of the human condition.

Reviews

  • "[An] exploration of an extremely slippery characterological realm offers many substantial pleasures"

    Benjamin DeMott, New York Times

  • "It challenges comparison with some of the world's most bizarre masterpieces"

    Financial Times

  • "Patrick White is, in the finest sense, a world novelist. His themes are catholic and complex and he persues them with a single-minded energy and vision"

    Robert Nye, Guardian
