Hal Porter - Man of Many Parts by Mary Lord
Title: Hal Porter – Man of Many Parts
Genre: Biography
Author: Mary Lord
This biography of a major Australian Literary talent – Hal Porter. He recorded and vivified the sights, sounds, smells of the daily life of ordinary people in this country over seventy odd years in a way no historian or sociologist could ever do. Large Hardcover, Published by Random House 1993. Very good condition.
Hal Porter was a maze of contradictions and paradoxes, capable of treachery as of loyalty, a man of exceptional charm and incredible gaucheries - truly a man of many parts. Mary Lord knew Porter for nearly forty years and began work on this book on Porter's suggestion before he died. She has had full access to his papers; and has written an account of a writer and his times which is worthy of his stature.
