I’d like to meet Robert Dessiax, or at least hear him speak on the radio, an interesting character for sure. I must find out if he still does his segment on ABC radio. Once again and this is the second of his books I’ve read, I find he's written a thoroughly enjoyable read. Short essays on an interesting collection of topics. The final paragraphs of each chapter segueing nicely to the topic of the next chapter. Robert Dessaix lives in Hobart which made the home state references extra interesting for me!

"This is a teasing grab-bag of thoughts, memories, anecdotes and effronteries that achieves luxurious coherence.' -- Weekend AustralianAs I Was Sayingis a swirling conversation with the reader on everything from travel to dogs and cats, from sport and swearing to the pleasures of idleness. Punctuated at regular intervals by talks Dessaix has given on a wide range of subjects, as well as by some of his most incisive journalism, the conversation invites the reader to join a leisurely guided tour of his chamber of curiosities, featuring pieces collected all over the globe from across the centuries. Whether writing home from Vladivostock or Damascus, discussing what makes for good conversation or thinking aloud about the paintings, poems and books he loves, Dessaix always writes with an intimacy and attentiveness that beguile, entertain and make his readers eager for new discoveries."
