Land Of The Long Weekend

by
October 1978, no. 5

Melbournians may be enchanted to learn that Conway regards Melbourne as the intellectual centre of Australia, even though he himself shows a nostalgia for the quieter backwaters of Hobart. More skilled at attack than defence, the writer shows the same capacity to come up with broadsides against the materialism and lack of general tenderness which he feels characterises the Australian character, and which also typified his earlier book, The Great Australian Stupor.
