註釋This ground-breaking first biography explores the contradictions at the core of Xavier Herbert's turbulent life and career (1901-1984).

Charting his lifelong quest to discover the reality of his existence and to forge a larger-than-life identity, it highlights Herbert's compulsion to write and illuminates his abiding themes. Labelled at various times "ratbag" and "mug genius" as well as "master writer", Xavier Herbert led a life characterised by controversy and contradiction. His signature books, Capricornia (1938) and Poor Fellow My country (1975), were to change the face of Australian novel writing.
