Description:
Robert Dessaix's testament to a wonderful life is funny, incisive and literary. His voice is completely distinctive and utterly compelling.
'A dazzlingly beautiful reading experience.' Guardian
'Sweet Jesus, this is beautiful.' David Marr
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.
PRAISE FOR CHAMELEON-

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
'Carefully crafted and moving.' The Booklist, Age

Rip’s easily
Style: Lobster, Style: Lobster
Hello,
I recently purchased one of your dog toys for my pup and while she absolutely loved it, unfortunately it didn’t hold up at all during normal play. She started playing with it as soon as it arrived, but the toy ripped the very first night and all the filler came out of the legs of the lobster design. I was really disappointed that it couldn’t withstand regular play, especially since we were excited about it.
Because the toy was damaged so quickly and didn’t last even one night of play, I’m not interested in buying another one, but I would like to know what your return or replacement policy is for this situation. Is it possible to get a replacement toy or a refund? If you require that the broken toy be sent back, please just let me know how to do that. I’d be happy to send photos if needed.
Thanks so much for your help,
Best regards,
Carolyn Consolo
