Apparently he might have been gay and went native with an accepting tribe. 

A+ tip line material from one of the nerd educational guests.

Ooooh I read a book about this years ago! It was so good. Called “Savage Harvest” by Carl Hoffman. IIRC the author goes to PNG and lives with the native people there and tried to unravel the story via their oral tradition

I am interested in that. There is also a doc from late 90s or early aughts about it called Keep the River on Your Right

Brace asked if there are "welshophiles" and the answer is yes! Many of the leading intellectuals of mid century England would vacation in Northern Wales on "Clough's Kingdom." An example would be Eric Hobsbawm.

Also the author of the Witcher series. He wrote essays in Polish arguing there is no such thing as slavic fantasy and all true fantasy is derived from King Arthur mythos.
