1 post | 1 read

"One Sunday night in Sydney, Robert Dessaix collapses on a Darlinghurst pavement, and is helped to his hotel room by a young man. What follows are weeks in hospital recovering from a heart attack that threatened to kill him. While lying in the hospital bed, Robert chances upon Philip Larkin's poem 'Days'. What, he muses, have his days been for? What and who has he loved - and why?"--Publisher description.

What Days Are For | Robert Dessaix

pan

While recovering in a hospital bed having twice being resuscitated after a heart attack, academic, broadcaster and writer Dessaix reflects on his life, loves and travels, wondering how to live the rest of his life. The writing is lovely and there are some interesting ideas, observations and quotations in it, but I didn't much enjoy it. I think because he seemed to me awfully smug and self satisfied. I probably should have bailed. #oznonfiction

candority I really like that cover! It‘s too bad you didn‘t enjoy it though 4y

Texreader I don‘t do well with smug, self-proud authors either. 4y
