Riassunto

The author of The Color of Memory journeys around the world--from New Orleans to Cambodia, Amsterdam, Thailand, Paris, Rome, and Nevada--reflecting on the disparity among anticipation, expectation, and reality and examining the ways in which experience is shaped by place and how it in turn affects how we feel about ourselves. 25,000 first printing.

Recensione:

“I have to say I was disappointed. Disappointed because this book was so funny, so effortlessly readable, so clear and wonderful that it meant that the brilliance of Out of Sheer Rage was not PURE DUMB LUCK.”
—Steve Martin

“What is the proper way to describe Geoff Dyer? Not deeply companionable, not viciously funny, not shockingly original, not effortlessly hip, not naively romantic, not wryly analytic, not endearingly foolish, not engagingly clever, but, perhaps, some as-yet-uninvented phrase which implies all these things at once.”
—Wendy Lesser,
author of Nothing Remains the Same

Geoff Dyer is the British anti-snob whose travel writing combines book-learning with withering self-appraisal and a great sense of the comic. He is also probably the only living writer engaged in a spiritual journey who would never proclaim it.
--Ted Conover

L'autore:

Geoff Dyer is the author of three novels: The Color of Memory, The Search, and Paris Trance;
a critical study of John Berger, Ways of Telling; and three genre-defying titles: But Beautiful (winner
of the 1972 Somerset Maugham Prize), The Missing of the Somme, and Out of Sheer Rage (a National Book Critics Circle finalist). He lives in London, where he spends much of his time wishing he lived in San Francisco.
