Acerca de esta escucha
Robert Dessaix’s Chameleon is about everything that matters, a book of memories that flow so freely they seem to happen as we read.
Cartwheeling from story to story, Dessaix describes an identity in flux: his beginnings as an adopted child named Thomas Robert Jones, his youthful interest in religious thinking, his obsession with all things Russian, his marriage to Lisa and divorce, his discovery of travel. In North Africa he finds different ways of feeling and being, and in Australia he begins his abiding relationship with his partner Peter Timms.
At every point he muses on pleasure, art, sex, literature, infatuation, happiness, music, life, death and all the rest. Chameleon is a virtuoso performance of self-revelation, as Dessaix explores how the restless mind takes constant detours to search for what makes life good, a place of wisdom and love.
‘Wise, witty, and sumptuously idiosyncratic, Robert Dessaix is a writer for all seasons.’ ANDREA GOLDSMITH
‘In this flinty yet fond conversation with his long-ago self, Robert Dessaix explores the myriad contradictions that make us fully human. His words, and his singular wisdom, shimmer.’ AILSA PIPER
’Sweet Jesus, this is beautiful.’ DAVID MARR
