Paperback

Publisher: Arcadia; Author: Nicholas Hasluck

A judge, novelist and arts adviser, Nicholas Hasluck's work includes acute appraisals of people he met or wrote about along the way in a series of non-fiction articles and essays. His recollections cast light on political controversies and also on the personal and at times surprising pursuits of various lawyers, artists and writers. They include a number of pieces bearing upon West Australian history, primarily legal and literary. The ruminations about trends and personalities are underpinned by a keen awareness of communal values: the way things were and the way they could be in times to come.
