Summary:"The first biography of Shirley Hazzard, the author of The Transit of Venus and a writer of "shocking wisdom" and "intellectual thrill" (The New Yorker)"--
Olubas draws on Hazzard's fiction, and on an extensive archive of private papers and the memories of surviving friends and colleagues, to create a resonant portrait of an exceptional woman. She traces the complex and intricate processes of self-fashioning that lay behind Hazzard's presence, and shows how her depth of perception and expressive gifts have earned her iconic status. -- adapted from jacket
