In this episode we hear from the award-winning author, journalist and political commentator David Marr, discussing the man he dedicated almost a decade of his life to understanding, whilst completing the seminal biography, Patrick White: A Life and later compiling Patrick White: Letters.

David speaks with energy and eloquence about what kind of person Patrick White really was, about his close yet complex connection to the theatre, and the real woman who inspired the infamous Cheery Soul character of Miss Docker.
