Marge:
What's happened is that you've written about all of us. Not just people like you who grew up here, but those of us who came along later. It's our home. Our way of life. The sense we have of ourselves as a people. And they want to take it away and claim it's theirs. You see, I don't believe you really think that this culture is as empty and fatuous as you made out at lunch, because, if you did, you'd never have written "Melancholy." And if you let them get away with it...if you let them pretend that it's all borrowed from another book, another culture, another place, then what you're really saying is that beauty, profundity, and passion cannot arise from an experience that is essentially Australian.
