Australian Literature Patrick Victor Martindale White Patrick Victor Martindale White (1912-1990), Australian author and Nobel laureate, born in London on one of his parents' periodic visits. White returned to England to attend the University of Cambridge, and served in the Royal Air Force during World War II (1939-1945). His first novel, Happy Valley (1939), was set in Australia, as were such later successful works as The Tree of Man (1955), about the struggles of a farmer in the Australian wilderness, and Voss (1957); these are considered his outstanding works and set his reputation. Other works include Riders in the Chariot (1961), The Solid Mandala (1966), and The Eye of the Storm (1973). Rich in symbolism and allegory, they deal with the individual's search for meaning in a harsh, potentially brutal country searching for its own self-definition. The Twyborn Affair (1979) explores sexual and spiritual confusion and ends in the London blitz. White, who in 1973 became the first Australian awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, was cited for his “epic and psychological narrative art which has introduced a new continent into literature.” His highly original writing style has been praised by critics for its oblique yet forceful descriptive power. His autobiography, Flaws in the Glass, was published in 1980. Patrick Victor Martindale White Australian Literature
Cyprian Ekwensi Nigerian novelist, short-story writer, and children’s author, who has portrayed the moral and material problems besetting rural West Africans as they migrate to the city. A prolific and popular writer, he owes his immense success to his ability to write realistically about current issues affecting ordinary people.His first published success came with the novella When Love Whispers (1948). People of the City (1954), a collection of short stories tied together almost as a novel, chronicles the frantic pace of life in modern Lagos, Nigeria’s former capital.His most successful novel, Jagua Nana (1961),tells the story of a vibrant middle-aged prostitute who moves between the corrupt, pleasure-seeking life of the city and the pastoral life of her rural origins. Ekwensi continued his career as a writer, reflecting on the war and its aftermath in the novels Survive the Peace (1976) and Divided We Stand (1980). In 1986 he published a sequel to Jagua Nana called Jagua Nana’s Daughter. His children’s books include The Passport of Mallam Ilia (1960), The Drummer Boy (1960), and Juju Rock (1966).
