Robert Hughes on the dangers of self-indulgence

Robert Hughes remains Australia’s most refreshing art critic. His prose is typically direct, jolting and blisteringly unsentimental.

In his autobiography, he refocuses the lens upon himself and the lessons he has learned from a nihilistic life of self-indulgence. More importantly he details the consequences for his son, who committed suicide recently.

The first extracts are serialised in the Sunday Times. This is not suitable for children.

Lovely site. I just found this recently. Your article on the talmud is shocking and informative. I’ve noticed by chance that you put my link on your blog. I’m really flattered and blushing at the moment. Could you name it as the blog name instead? Exuberantly Exhilarating instead of synkronyzer? Thanks.
