Three Uneasy Pieces presents three late prose works by Nobel Prize-winning Australian author Patrick White, written in the final years of his life, in which he confronts ageing, mortality, identity, and the uneasy tensions of modern existence with unflinching candour and dark, sardonic wit. These pieces are autobiographical in spirit, blending personal meditation with sharp social observation and a tone that oscillates between wry humour and existential disquiet.\n\nWhite's signature prose style — dense, allusive, and psychologically penetrating — is on full display here, as he turns his formidable literary gaze inward and upon the world around him. As both a farewell meditation and a defiant late-career statement, Three Uneasy Pieces illustrates why White remains one of the most distinctive and uncompromising voices in world literature, leaving the reader to wonder: what does it mean to face the end with one's eyes fully open?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51070623514843,"sku":"2026100012114-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b74d3422-4406-4926-a794-3a1229911771.png?v=1794188155","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012114-secondhand-three-uneasy-pieces","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
