## Description

In this book the author addresses the problem of growing old and the " warts of the soul" which, if gouged out, ruin the flesh. We must wait, he says, for the evil in us to die naturally. Presenting a peeled potato, a dance in the kitchen and a visit to the aged mother of a childhood friend, he considers our struggle, our efforts to achieve aesthetic perfection and suggests some resolutions. Patrick White is a Nobel Prize-winning author. His novels include " The Tree of Man", " Voss", " The Vivisector", " A Fringe of Leaves", " The Twyborn Affair" and " Memoirs of Many in One".
