Visiting Hull for the first time, Geoff Dyer is the ultimate counter-tourist with the ultimate counter-guide to life. Definitely off-beat, definitely clever, definitely silly. Unmissable. Geoff Dyer is the author of three novels: Paris, Trance, The Search, The Colour of Memory; a critical study of John Berger, Ways of Telling; a collection of essays Anglo-English Attitudes; and four genre-defying titles: But Beautiful, The Missing of the Somme, Out of Sheer Rage and Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It. He has won many literary awards including a 2003 Lannan Literary Fellowship. Born in 1958, he lives in London. |
