Because the White belongs to lovers!

Because the White belongs to us!
Laura has proposed a Patrick White reading circle at Sarsaparilla.
This endeavour will provide opportunities to stick it to The Man at The Australian while talking about a good book with interesting people.*
A Big Brother style vote is being conducted in comments at the linked post – so go and nominate which works to save or evict and then hunt yourself down a copy. And does anyone know what that pug is so cut about?
* Also bad puns there for the taking.

That pug looks like an elderly pug; all it’s black/brown bits have gone grey/white, which might account for the surly expression. Or perhaps that other pug, the front of whose head we cannot see, is biting it on the rear flank and it’s thinking unspeakable doggy thoughts.

He’d just jumped off from being cuddled against PW’s crotch (ask Laura nicely for the visual!). I’d be pretty cranky too.

Is he allowed to dress that badly because he’s a writer?
Damn, they get ALL the perks.

Because he’s a writer, and because it’s the 70s when bad pants abounded. I reckon those are top shelf Fletcher Jones strides he’s sporting.
The pug expert in our family posted recently about her little bundle of joy, here.

“Top Shelf Fletcher Jones”
The mind boggles…

“Top Shelf Fletcher Jones”
An oxmoron.
Also, pugs just look like that.
Llasa Apsos also conceal their essential sweetness behind a terrifying demonic exterior. I don’t think you can say the same of Patrick, though.
Which reminds me that my brother once had a dog called Patrick (Segue, segue.)
Not named after the writer. Just so he could call him “Pat the dog”.
