Geoff Dyer
We love the web but more than that we love our web of friends. Having met Geoff once before and photographed him in Palestine for the literary festival, we heard on the grapevine that he required a website. With his hosting setup and WordPress already installed Second Variety did not hesitate to help him choose a GPL theme, The Columnist by Ben Martineau modified to suit.
We’ll be adding more features to help him manage the tons of literary engagements Geoff attends and we hope that with time this minimal site will begin to reflect the eclectic tastes and hard to categorise nature of his body of work.
Geoff Dyer is the author of four novels: Paris Trance, The Search, The Colour of Memory, and, most recently, Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi; two collections of essays, Anglo-English Attitudes and Working the Room; and five genre-defying titles: But Beautiful, The Missing of the Somme, Out of Sheer Rage, Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It and The Ongoing Moment.
His most recent book, Otherwise Known as the Human Condition – a selection of essays from Anglo-English Attitudes and Working the Room – was published in the US in April 2011. A new book, Zona, about Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker, will be published in the UK and the US in Spring 2012. Checkout his site for more information if you would like to purchase a book or find out when you might be able to meet him.
