It’s part of the country’s love/hate attitudes about high culture, Hughes believes. “The whole Aussie experience has left him seriously considering throwing in his citizenship – renouncing the country he has so often defended. ‘What’s the point of going back? It’s like a dog returning to smell its vomit,’ he told me in our most recent telephone call.” – New Statesman
