'‘So there’s a new book about me coming out next year’, tweeted Katharine Susannah
Prichard on 27 April 2020. ‘I wouldn’t believe everything it says.’ A photo shows
her biographer, Nathan Hobby, signing a contract with Melbourne University Press
(MUP) in an Officeworks carpark. He looks content, if a little daunted. Only slightly
delayed by the pandemic, the book, a richly illustrated, handsome volume with
generous endnotes and an extensive bibliography, produced in MUP’s Miegunyah
imprint, appeared last year. Published fifty years after her death, it is the first full
biography of Prichard.'
