With an oeuvre that includes novels, biographies, autobiographies, editions, compilations, comic books, poetry, dramatic monologues, sketches, film scripts, and several unclassified works, Humphries is a literary and dramatic artist of considerable significance. Arguing that Humphries is one of Australia's greatest writers, Paul Matthew St Pierre reveals a multi-faceted artist whose success is rooted in music halls, Dadaism, and his identity as an Australian. 606 $aNational characteristics, Australian, in literature 615 0$aNational characteristics, Australian, in literature. 676 $a828/.91409 700 $aSt. Pierre$b Paul Matthew$01488677 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777742003321 996 $aA portrait of the artist as Australian$93789350 997 $aUNINA
