Ric Throssell

Ric published four novels, A Reliable Source, In a Wilderness of Mirrors, and Tomorrow and Jackpot . He wrote at least ten plays, most of which were performed in Canberra where he was a long-time supporter of local repertory theatre. Additionally he edited Tribute, a collection of KS Pritchard’s stories, and Straight Left, her articles and speeches. But he will probably be remembered principally for his two revealing and sensitively written biographies, Wild Weeds and Wind Flowers (1975) and My Father’s Son (1989). Ric was also Patron of the Katharine Susannah Prichard Foundation from its inception.

Ric Throssell died in 1999.
