Listen "Meet the author- Robert Dessaix"
Episode Synopsis
Robert Dessaix was in conversation with Andrew Leigh on his new book Chameleon: A memoir of art, travel, ideas and love.
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.
