Windsor was educated at St Ignatius' College, Riverview, dux in both 1961 and 1962,[4] and a student of Melvyn Morrow.Шаблон:Citation needed Windsor trained as a Jesuit from ages 18 to 24 before realizing it was not his vocation.Шаблон:Citation needed He studied Arts at the Australian National University and Sydney University,[5] before briefly studying medicine. He is a writer, having published ten books, including fiction, compilations of essays, and memoirs. Awarded the 2005 Pascall Prize for Critical Writing, he noted that "The primary responsibility of the review is to entertain the reader...The primary responsibility is not to the book or the movie or the play or whatever, which is not to be utterly amoral about it. But nevertheless, it should be a work whole in itself, and give pleasure."[6] Windsor's novel, I Have Kissed Your Lips, was shortlisted for The Age Book of the Year award and longlisted for the 2005 Miles Franklin Award.[5]
The author Penelope Rowe was a sister.[7]
