Encore: Obituaries of 50 West Australians

A selection of obituaries from two of Perth’s finest writers: Patrick Cornish and David Hough. David died in 2019, but Patrick has continued writing obituaries regularly for The West Australian daily newspaper. 

WA's Finest

Every facet of Western Australian community life is covered in the lives memorialised in this book. The arts, charity, business, politics, education, Indigenous affairs, sport and the migrant experience.

"Obituary writing is an art form. Encapsulating a significant life in a few paragraphs is an enormous challenge. It is sometimes the first cut of a broader literature on the contribution, life and times of the deceased subject."
- K Beazley AC
