The Cockatoos (Unabridged‪)‬

In six short stories Patrick White probes beneath the surface of events to expose a deeper, truer reality.

These six short novels and stories achieve the majesty and power of the best of Patrick White’s great novels. They probe beneath the surface of events – a sexual lapse, the unaccustomed climate of a foreign country, interruptions in a cherished routine, a death, a toothache – to expose a deeper, truer reality.
