If you’re reading this, I hope you’ll forgive me a bit of an introduction to my review of These Desired Things. I think a review of this book deserves a proper setting of the table.For several years, I only knew of Steve Matchett the broadcaster. He is a key piece of the F1 on NBC Sports commentary team: the witty and charming Professor of Racing Mechanics, alongside the also stellar Leigh Diffey, David Hobbs, and Will Buxton.During those years of watching F1, I fell in love with the sport and learned so much by taking in Steve’s insights each race weekend about the cars’ engineering and how they respond to certain conditions. So, when I learned that he’d authored several books about F1 racing, I was intrigued to hear his storytelling voice. As expected, I was not disappointed. Life in the Fast Lane, The Mechanic’s Tale, and The Chariot Makers are all delightfully insightful stories about Steve’s time in the sport of F1.I’ll admit that in those first three mostly non-fiction books, I had somewhat selfishly taken for granted Steve’s innate ability to recount an interesting story and make you feel as though you were there yourself: he’s a long-tenured veteran of the sport, of course he can tell a great story of the glories of Michael Schumacher. He had lived and breathed F1, after all.But, now on to this latest work, which is a departure from his prior three non-fiction works centered on F1 racing. In short, I’m quite honestly amazed at the creativity, heartfelt thought, and ability to use multiple mechanisms to interlace these short stories together. While reading These Desired Things, (if possible, I recommend a fire and a glass of your favorite pour to set the mood), I found myself saying aloud more than once “this is really, REALLY good.”I continually came back to one recurring feeling: beautifully immersive. It was the first thought I had while reading the first chapter, as though I could feel the sandstorm punishing me along with the characters, and it continued throughout the final pages. I found myself plunged into the surroundings of each short story – whether a desirable place to be (Brazil or Maranello), or a thoroughly undesirable place to be (in the trenches as the Great War raged in France or a cold room not designed for but repurposed for quiet yet frustrating study). I was beautifully immersed in each.I have no doubt that everyone who reads this collection will have different stories they relate and respond to more than others. Without giving too much away, and taking nothing away from the strength of the entire book, for me, these moments stood out in particular:- Sempre FerrariThis chapter reminds me of my own trips to Italy: the palpable enjoyment of life in all its eternal simplicity that exists there, and that there is always “domani”. I also particularly related to the promise of the field glasses being honored. A beautiful moment.- (The Piano) Room 101Steve describes the intricacies of the room like only a race mechanic can. The room is absolutely brought alive, again leaving the reader no other option but to feel as though they’ve not only been transported to the very room itself, but into the protagonist’s psyche as well.- Fragments from FranceYoung Steve’s interactions with Mr. Goodman and his everlasting influence were so relatable to me. I had my own version of Mr. Goodman, who also happened to be a veteran (though of Vietnam) and an avid sports fan (though he was perched in the seats at Fenway Park as opposed to Donington Park). Like Steve, I also never wanted to disappoint him, and my Mr. Goodman also left an indelible positive influence on me.With These Desired Things, Steve has built upon the narrative strength of his prior works, but added delightfully imaginative and emotive fiction. If you couldn’t tell, my advice is to pick up this book and allow it to transport you to each wonderful little world it encompasses. You won’t regret the time spent.

Having finished, I feel a need to go back immediately and rediscover this book anew. It is frightening, sorrowful, uplifting, poignant and hopeful, the emotions sometimes cascading within just a few sentences of each other.Unlike his first 3 books, where a knowledge of Formula 1 is reasonably critical, this one can stand on its own. Yes, there are a myriad of references to people, races and locales, but it is less the event and much more personal.The book begins with death, and indeed focuses on death, but one should surmise from the title that in fact the author does not desire it. Instead he reflects on the beauty and poignancy of lives altered, most notably his own. I was tempted to count the iterations of death, much as I did after my first viewing of the movie, "Love Actually." How many different forms of love were depicted in the film, and how many forms of "death" did the author share?It is a beautiful book, and well worthy of a deep dive.I shall read it again. I can say unequivocally, I expect I shall have a new perspective on the narrative the second time round, as the words, thoughts and emotions are so beautifully woven together and as the glass revealed, so much more between the lines than one sees the first time.

"These Desired Things" has so many wonderful stories it's hard to categorize, other than being an excellent book. I've watched his F1 commentary for years, and it was pleasant but not surprising to read his insights, not just about F1 but about so many other aspects of life. I was amazed at his beautiful prose style, and that combined with the haunting sections about World War I, especially the remembrances of Mr. Goodman, make this book a read that you won't forget. Those stories in particular encouraged me to re-read the classic "All Quiet on the Western Front". I always loved the writing style of that book, and the quality of Steve Matchett's prose style is on par with the beauty of Erich Maria Remarque's.

When I saw Steve Matchett had written another book “These Desired Things”, it came at just the right time. Steve has been part of my life( totally unaware to him) for 15 years or more.I have “known” Steve through his three books about his life as a racing mechanic and then we would spend each weekend of the Formula 1 season together as he with David Hobbs described in the most knowledgeable detail their insights of each race weekend on television.I was heartbroken to see the US broadcast of Formula 1 will now be handled by the world feed thru ESPN with no local talent, Steve and David, to act as my friends and interperters for each race. With this latest book Steve Matchett has shown us a new side of himself with a thoroughly wonderful set of short stories.I kept stopping during each story to quiet my mind and breathe in the detail, feeling and wisdom that each story contains.I cried as I read “Breaking Bread With Ayrton Senna”, I saw my daughter’s dyslexic struggles in “ (The Piano) Room 101”, the beauty of the history and ageless mystique of Ferrari in “Sempre Ferrari”.In his storys of Mr Goodman the old man from his childhood , brought back so many memories of an older man in my chilhood and teenage life , Mr. Webb, who also taught me so much about life, learning, patience and quite wisdom.(I have also learned in later life why older men looked down at a funny angle when working on their cars. That’s how we see out of the bottom of our bifocals. That was one of my childhood mysteries.)I cannot recommend a book more , please find quite time to drink in the beautiful prose and enjoy great writing.Thank you Mr. Matchett, I look forward to your next endeavor, in the meantime, when summer comes I will re-read this book under a tree and enjoy and learn more from each story.Please read and enjoy as I did.
