Description
The Lindsay family of artists and writers dominated Australian cultural life for much of the 20th century. Their lives have been mythologised as authentic Australian Artistic heroes.
By going to the sources, including many hitherto unavailable letters and manuscripts, Joanna Mendelssohn unrvels a very different story.
In Letters and Liars: Norman Lindsay and His Family by Joanna Mendelssohn the author gives the story behind the writing of Norman Lindsay’s novel Redheap, which was banned in 1930 and remained unpublished in Australia until 1959. And she uncovers the life of Mary Lindsay, whose literary ambitions were thwarted by family circumstances.
