Average Rating: Rating: - A middle-aged slacker's guide to the universe. And more! Geoff Dyer is brilliant and hilarious. I couldn't put it down. One of the best things I've read in awhile. This is a collection of travel essays, and yet it's not. His approach to travel seems to be one of getting stoned so that one may enter the mundane. And he writes about the mundane as if it were the most fascinating place in the world. Forget travel guide books. Just go someplace and do nothing. And after awhile the nothing becomes something. I think you have to be a bit bent to enjoy this book. And if you are, you'll love Dyer's offbeat view of the world. I did. Rating: - Great stories! Funny and interesting essays from a guy searching for something even HE can't put a finger on. Dyer's a modern day nomad, a wanderer who shares stories of a life most of us only dream of living. Wish I could quit my job and do the same! Other good books of men on a quest are NO ONE'S EVEN BLEEDING and DELANO. Rating: - Nostalgic for Grey I have almost no interest in meeting anyone famous. There are many writers, artists, or actors that I appreciate, but given the chance to meet them I wouldn't have anything to say. I would, however, like to meet Geoff Dyer. Not that he would be fun to hang out with, with his tendancy to go on with himself. Or he'd be quite fun, i don't know. But the main thing is, he's on to a search, which I admire. Dyer is approaching middle age, yet he is STILL on to the search. I don't mean the search for happiness. Happiness and Dyer do not get along. Here is the example of somebody with enough self-awareness to realize the potholes in the logic of desire, and, at the same time, the detriment of that awareness - that one can never BE in one's body, in the moment (too much in one's head perhaps). He's driven to near madness by his own discontent, but somehow he makes that madness is his fuel. What's the search for then? Maybe that's what I'd ask him. It's the zone, it's whatever drives one to write or do whatever it is that distracts one from writing. If I ever met Dyer, I'd like to pass him my copy of Walker Percy's, 'The Moviegoer'. I think Percy's protagonist and Mr. Dyer have a similar line of inquiry. For me, this inquiry resonates soundly with my own personal aversion to life's routines, that and an unhealthy obsession with the elastic quality of time in relation to experience. P.S. Why isn't this guy more popular in the US. He's amazing.
