The Age: "When the US State Department designated a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist as a 'cultural ambassador', it probably did not plan for him to go around the world calling his president a 'moron' who governs an 'evil empire'. Nor did it expect him to boycott Israel because of US foreign policy, nor to warn Australia that its culture would be 'gobbled up' by a free trade agreement." (via Literary Saloon)
