With wit, wisdom and endless curiosity, Don Watson has spent a lifetime writing on subjects as diverse as they are entertaining. This definitive anthology reveals the remarkable depth of his interests and erudition, with articles, essays and insights on subjects ranging from Australian humour, American politics, Don Bradman and Oscar Wilde. Speechwriter, humorist, biographer, lecturer, critic and provocateur, self-described accidental writer Don has traversed almost as many genres of writing as he has subjects: Watsonia: A Writing Life is a collection of his wide-ranging best.
