It’s fifty years today since Katharine Susannah Prichard died. To mark the occasion, I wrote a post about her death for the KSP Writers Centre: https://www.kspwriterscentre.com/single-post/2019/10/02/Your-KS-48-The-death-of-Katharine-Susannah-Prichard.
Next month, Westerly will be publishing my creative non-fiction piece “‘As my Great Day Approaches’: Katharine Susannah Prichard in 1969”, which intertwines an account of Katharine’s final year with my own reflections on writing her biography and the meaning of death.
Well written Nathan. I’m a great believer in a good death, and hope for one myself. And good on the communist in overalls,, I hope she’d have been pleased. KSP and for that matter Miles Franklin both seem so long ago and yet they died in my lifetime.
