This collection sees the best of Geoff Dyer's extensive essays and journalism from the last ten years collected in one volume. It follows Anglo-English Attitudes, his last collected volume of essays, published in 1999.
Characterised by Dyer's trademark wit, playfulness and understated intelligence, his writing on art, literature, music and the human condition has appeared in the Guardian, Observer, New York Times and Telegraph.
This lively anthology roves from the photography of Martin Parr to the paintings of Turner, the writing of Scott-Fitzgerald to the criticism of Susan Sontag. There are also extensive personal pieces, 'On Being an Only Child', 'Sex and Hotels' and 'Otherwise Known as the Human Condition (with particular reference to Donut Plant donuts)'.
