The Dukes of Hazzard Hold'Em.
In addition, the character of Helen
Driscoll had to move to New Zealand, as Hazzard had done.
Hazzard admired the writing of Henry James and Ivy Compton-Burnett,
and critics have noted similarities with their work, particularly in the use of dialogue.
Hazzard wrote her first short story,"Woollahra Road",
in 1960 while in Siena, and it was accepted and published by The New Yorker magazine the following year.
Hazzard was born in Sydney to a Welsh father(Reginald Hazzard) and a Scottish mother(Catherine Stein Hazzard),
both of whom had immigrated to Australia in the 1920s.
Helen and her brother, the dying Benedict, are described as"wonderfully well-read,
a poetic pair who live in literature", and Hazzard once said that poetry had always
been the centre of her life.
