The Lovers.

National Catholic Reporter | May 28, 1993| | Copyright

Australian novelist Morris West, 76, says this will be his last novel. The element of publisher's come-hither hype is enhanced by the suggestion that this farewell to literature is as much autobiography as invention. West has reached an age when "the curtains between fact, fiction and the final mystery are wearing thin."

This is fiction, he explains, "but a fiction transmuted from many realities: fragments of personal experience, portraits of men and women met along the pilgrim way" and the Mediterranean landscapes and seascapes he came to know from the 1950s.
