Why Do Some People Chose Self-Destruction? | Voss (Patrick White)
Is there greater isolation in the Australian desert, or being unable to fit in with society?
'Voss' by Patrick White is a story of adventure into the Australian wilderness. It's set in 1845 and revolves around 2 principal characters: Johann Ulrich Voss and Laura Trevelyan. There are complex weavings of love, passion, inner turmoil and religious symbolism as Voss follows his path of self-destruction and Laura struggles to communicate with others.
I summarised the book as follows. "Much like the central character Voss, the book itself is enigmatic & at times hard to understand. I feel like you could pick it apart many ways & that I've done a disservice to all the other unique characters by only focusing upon Voss and Laura. I see why this book is an Aussie classic and why Patrick White was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature."
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
