White's tale is about most of us: we come and go from the world without really, at any stage, trying to affect or change it, despite dreaming of what we would do if we had the chance. White has that chance. White's Novel is about what happens as a result of him taking that chance. And, in the end, is he really so very different than the rest of us? He thinks he is!
He is 71 years old, has lived on 3 continents: Europe, Africa and Asia, has been a teacher, chocolate salesman, small business man and ambulance person. He has written eight novels, only one of which, until 'White's Novel', has been published, several plays (until now all unproduced) and a lot of poetry. He paints (abstract, landscapes & collage compositions) and occasionally sells, has three children, four grandchildren, been married once and now lives with his long term partner, Caroline, and has for the last twenty years, in South London.
