Barry Humphries, Clive James, Germaine Greer, and Robert Hughes are all writers and performers who decided to leave their native Australia in the late 1950s or early 1960s and to pursue their brilliant careers abroad. This book profiles these four vibrant individuals, concentrating on the reasons for their expatriatism and considering what aspects of their Australian identity they have retained. The text combines elements of biography, cultural criticism and social history. The author seeks to suggest what is distinctive about them as a generational group, and reflects on how far they may be seen as the "last expatriates".
