Revered Australian writer Robert Dessaix casts his self-reflective eye over a writing life brimming with adventure and wisdom. 

Robert Dessaix has spent his life devoted to ideas, writing himself into being again and again. A storyteller, memoirist, critic and artist, his creativity knows no bounds, and no one is safe from his pen – least of all him. 

Together we celebrate Chameleon, Dessaix’s recent memoir that collects the formative episodes that have shaped and shape-shifted this essential Australian writer. 

With host Michael Veitch, Dessaix explores his restless pursuit of pleasure and meaning in a landscape littered with tales of travel, love and curiosity.
