The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Influenced by the modernism of James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, he developed a complex literary style and a body of work that challenged the dominant realist prose tradition of his home country, was satirical of Australian society, and sharply divided local critics.
- He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973 and is the only Australian to receive it.
- Born in London to affluent Australian parents, White spent his childhood in Sydney and on his family's rural properties.
