“This handsome collection amounts to an extensive tour of Winogrand’s photographs conducted by a savvy, observant, and highly entertaining guide. No longer still, Winogrand’s images are animated here by the turns and jumps of Geoff Dyer’s lively commentary.”
Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United States
White Sands: Experiences from the Outside World
From “one of our most original writers” (Kathryn Schulz, New York magazine) comes an expansive and exacting book—firmly grounded, but elegant, witty, and always inquisitive—about travel, unexpected awareness, and the questions we ask when we step outside ourselves.
Another Great Day at Sea
“Geoff Dyer has managed to do again what he does best: insert himself into an exotic and demanding environment (sometimes, his own flat, but here, the violent wonders of an aircraft carrier) and file a report that mixes empathetic appreciation with dips into brilliant comic deflation. Welcome aboard the edifying and sometimes hilarious ship Dyer.” Billy Collins, author of Aimless Love

‘Few books about film feel like watching a film, but this one does. We sit with Dyer as he writes about Stalker, he captures its mystery and burnish, he prises it open and gets its glum majesty. As a result of this book, I know the film better, and care about Tarkovsky even more.’ Mark Cousins, author of THE STORY OF FILM
Otherwise Known as the Human Condition

Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It

But Beautiful

Out of Sheer Rage
“The funniest book I have ever read.” Steve Martin on Geoff Dyer’s Out of Sheer Rage
The Search
