Home Away from Home : The Curious Case of Diplomats
2019
single work
criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , vol. 19 no. 1 2019; 'This paper addresses a particular form of life writing by expatriates, the memoirs of diplomats. The diplomatic memoir is an emerging and particular genre of life writing that adds a surprising facet to the rich field of narratives of expatriation.

In this discussion of Australian diplomatic memoirs I will include some of my own recollections and diary accounts drawn from my experience as a career diplomat.' (Introduction) -
