SUMMARY:Tessa Hadley & Geoff Dyer: After the Funeral\, LRB Bookshop\, London
DESCRIPTION:In Tessa Hadley’s new collection\, After the Funeral (Jonathan Cape)\, small events have huge consequences. As psychologically astute as they are emotionally dense\, these stories illuminate the enduring conflicts between responsibility and freedom\, power and desire\, convention and subversion\, reality and dreams. \nHadley will be in conversation with Geoff Dyer. \nFor more information visit the bookshop website HERE.

SUMMARY:Passa Porta\, Brussels\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Dyer is one of the great daredevils of British literature. He stubbornly refuses to write the same book twice\, breaking new ground each time. His boundless curiosity has produced classics on subjects as diverse as film (Zona on Tarkovsky’s Stalker)\, jazz (But beautiful) and World War I (The Missing of the Somme). In his latest book\, The Last Days of Roger Federer and Other Endings\, he describes in a most entertaining way the last works and years of some of his favourite artists. \nWhen does the end set in? In his new book\, Geoff Dyer looks for the beginning of the end in the careers of beloved artists\, musicians and sportspeople. In his familiar pointed style\, Dyer writes about Friedrich Nietzsche’s mental crisis\, J.M.W. Turner’s almost abstract final paintings and Bob Dylan’s never-ending tour. So does it never end? Sometimes it does\, but when? In his sharp and jesting studies\, the writer spares no one\, not even himself. \n“Tennis\, jazz\, Dylan\, movies\, drugs\, Nietzsche\, Beethoven. So why am I laughing? Because Geoff Dyer once again melds commentary and observation with intellect and wit. Bouncing between criticism and memoir\, Dyer is one of the few writers whose paragraphs I can immediately reread and get more from. The twists\, turns\, and delights abound\, and when you finally put the book down you think\, ‘Oh\, yes\, I’ve always been this smart\, haven’t I?’”\n STEVE MARTIN \nInterviewer and booklover Melissa Giardina talks to the man who\, not entirely unjustly\, has been described as ‘possibly Britain’s best prose writer’ (New York Magazine). \nFor more information visit the Passa Porta website HERE.

SUMMARY:Daunts Bookshop\, Marylebone\, London
DESCRIPTION:Geoff will be at Daunts\, Marylebone in London\, to talk about his latest book The Last Days of Roger Federer. \nIn this endlessly stimulating investigation\, Geoff Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last achievements of writers\, painters\, athletes and musicians who’ve mattered to him throughout his life. With a playful charm and penetrating intelligence\, he examines Friedrich Nietzsche’s breakdown in Turin\, J.W. Turner’s paintings of abstracted light\, John Coltrane’s cosmic melodies\, Jean Rhys’s return from the dead (while still alive) and Beethoven’s final quartets. Oh\, and there’s writing about Roger Federer and tennis too. \nThe author Michael Bracewell will be joining Geoff in conversation. Bracewell’s books are just as wide-ranging\, beguiling and inspiring as Dyer’s. His non-fiction books include Souvenir\, Re-Make/Re-Model and he made a very welcome return to fiction this year with the sublime Unfinished Business. \nThis is the perfect post-Wimbledon event – so do come and join us for a wonderful evening. \nFor more information visit the bookshop website HERE.

SUMMARY:NYPL: Geoff Dyer and Chloé Cooper Jones
DESCRIPTION:Author and RSL Fellow Geoff Dyer is joined by Chloé Cooper Jones to discuss sporting matches and everyday battles; failure and triumph; what it means and what it takes to live life to the full\, and when and how to bow out.  \n‘Even with no idea of where\, when\, or how things might end up it was time to start work—on a book that ended up being written while life as we know it came to an end.’ Geoff Dyer \nGeoff Dyer’s latest book\, The Last Days of Roger Federer is an examination of endings through the lenses of Bob Dylan\, Beethoven\, Burning Man\, and much more besides. Easy Beauty by Chloé Cooper Jones blends journalism\, philosophy and memoir to examine the difficulties of living in a body. Geoff just so happens to make a cameo appearance at a tennis tournament\, too.  \nThis flagship Literature Matters: RSL 200/Live from NYPL event will be available to watch live\, for free via Zoom\, simulcast to YouTube. Following the live event\, the programme will remain viewable on the NYPL website and YouTube channel. \nThis event is the second in our series in partnership with the New York Public Library\, Transatlantic Conversations\, pairing leading US and UK writers for exclusive discussions. \nFor more information visit the RSL website HERE.

SUMMARY:Centre for Contemporary Photography\, Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Dyer\, one of the most interesting contemporary writers on photography\, will join CCP Director Daniel Boetker-Smith in conversation. \nHis new book See / Saw was released last year by Canongate\, and will be available for sale (and signing). \nDyer’s celebrated and widely read book The Ongoing Moment (2007) focused on the ways in which canonical figures like Alfred Stieglitz\, Paul Strand\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Edward Weston\, Dorothea Lange\, Diane Arbus\, and William Eggleston have photographed the same things – barber shops\, benches\, hands\, road signed – award-winning writer Geoff Dyer seeks to identify their signature styles. In doing so\, he constructs a narrative in which these photographers – many of whom never met – constantly encounter one another. The result was a kaleidoscopic work of extraordinary originality and insight. \nHis new book See / Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our perspectives. Starting from single images by the world’s most important photographer – from Eugene Atget to Dayanita Singh. \nGeoff Dyer is the award-winning author of many books including But Beautiful\, Out of Sheer Range\, Zona (on Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker)\, and the essay collection Otherwise Known as the Human Condition (winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism). He is currently Writer in Residence at The University of Southern California\, Los Angeles. \nFor more information visit the CCP website HERE.

SUMMARY:Sloane Crosley and Geoff Dyer in Conversation\, Foyles\, London
DESCRIPTION:Sloane Crosley and Geoff Dyer come together in conversation at Foyles to talk about their latest books and the wit and wisdom that characterise both their work.  \nSloane Crosley has written three bestselling essay collections (I was Told There’d Be Cake\, How Did You Get This Number\, and Look Alive Out There)\, two of which were shortlisted for the Thurber Prize for American Humour. Crosley is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and was previously the contributing editor at Interview Magazine. She has written columns for The Village Voice\, The Independent\, Vanity Fair\, The New York Observer\, and elsewhere. She lives in New York City. \nSloane Crosley visits the UK to celebrate the release of her take on the literary rom-com\, her new novel Cult Classic. A very funny sort of love story\, Cult Classic asks what a dating history that can constantly be relived online means for the future of modern romance. With sharp and elegantly hilarious humour in the vein of Fran Lebowitz and a sense for the subtleties and blatant ironies of modern life and love similar to Patricia Lockwood\, Sloane Crosley is totally herself. \nCrosley wrote of Geoff Dyer’s latest work that The Last Days of Roger Federer ‘will rearrange the art on the walls of your memory so that you might see it again\, as if for the first time.’ In this reflective and rejuvenating book\, Dyer considers his own middle age by looking at the later years of some of history’s artists\, musicians and sports stars. This is the ageless imagination at work of one of the greatest critics writing in English. \nGeoff Dyer is an award-winning author of eleven non-fiction books and four novels\, including Out of Sheer Rage\, Yoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It\, and See/Saw. A fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science\, Dyer lives in Los Angeles\, where he is Writer in Residence at the University of Southern California. \nTickets: £20 Book & Ticket\, inc. a copy of Sloane Crosley’s Cult Classic (RRP £16.99) / £8 General Admission \nVenue: The Auditorium (Level 6) at Foyles\, 107 Charing Cross Road\, London\nThe event will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing. Doors will open from 6:45pm. \nFor more information visit Foyles’ website.

SUMMARY:Louisiana Museum\, Copenhagen
DESCRIPTION:THE ELOQUENCE OF DIANE ARBUS AND THE WISDOM IN HER PHOTOGRAPHS \nThe British author and critic Geoff Dyer\, who is a great connoisseur of photography – and especially in the period when Diane Arbus worked – believes that one can rightly say that Arbus has added “new insight” to the world. Or\, as he puts it\, “a kind of wisdom that goes beyond what one might otherwise register.”\nIn this Lecture\, Geoff Dyer will focus on how we can see this in Arbus’ images and how we should respond to it.\nGeoff Dyer is the author of many books\, including three about photography: ‘The Ongoing Moment’\, ‘The Street Photography of Garry Winogrand’ and ‘See/Saw’.  He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science.  His new book\, ‘The Last Days of Roger Federer’ comes out this summer.\nThis lecture is in English. \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, Santa Barbara\, CA
DESCRIPTION:In his latest book\, Geoff Dyer turns his well-honed wit and sharp-edged wisdom to the consideration of endings. Taking a closer look at endings of significant events in life\, and even life itself\, Dyer in conversation with Sameer Pandya\, assistant professor in the Department of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, examines the achievements of writers\, painters\, musicians\, and athletes that have meant something to him as he approaches “late middle age.” With his signature playful charm and penetrating intelligence\, he considers the intensifications and modifications of experience that come when an ending is within sight\, and moves us seamlessly from the brush strokes of J. M. W. Turner to the tennis strokes of Roger Federer. \nThis book on last things\, written while life as we know it seemed to be coming to an end\, is at heart\, a tale about how to go on living with art and beauty. \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Greenlight Bookstore\, Fort Greene\, Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Dyer presents The Last Days of Roger Federer\nIn conversation with Sam Lipsyte \nWhen artists and athletes age\, what happens to their work? Does it ripen or rot? Achieve a new serenity or succumb to an escalating torment? As our bodies decay\, how do we keep on? Acclaimed author of Out of Sheer Rage and “one of our greatest living critics” (Kathryn Schulz\, New York) Geoff Dyer considers these questions in his newest book\, The Last Days of Roger Federer\, an extended meditation on late style and last works. Blending criticism\, memoir\, and humorous banter of the most serious kind\, Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last works of writers\, painters\, footballers\, musicians\, and tennis stars who’ve mattered to him throughout his life—revisiting Nietzsche’s breakdown in Turin\, Beethoven’s final quartets\, and John Coltrane’s cosmic melodies\, among other examples of uncouth geniuses defying convention far beyond their beautiful youths. Join us at our Fort Greene store for a very special evening contemplating the timeless tussle between art and life and the intensification of experience that comes when an ending comes into view. \nFor more information about the event click HERE.

SUMMARY:McNally Jackson\, Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch: Geoff Dyer Presents The Last Days of Roger Federer: And Other Endings\, in conversation with Jeremy Denk \nWhen artists and athletes age\, what happens to their work? Does it ripen or rot? Achieve a new serenity or succumb to an escalating torment? As our bodies decay\, how do we keep on? In this beguiling meditation\, Geoff Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last works of writers\, painters\, footballers\, musicians\, and tennis stars who’ve mattered to him throughout his life. With a playful charm and penetrating intelligence\, he recounts Friedrich Nietzsche’s breakdown in Turin\, Bob Dylan’s reinventions of old songs\, J. M. W. Turner’s paintings of abstracted light\, John Coltrane’s cosmic melodies\, Bjorn Borg’s defeats\, and Beethoven’s final quartets—and considers the intensifications and modifications of experience that come when an ending is within sight.

SUMMARY:Austin Central Library\, Austin\, Texas
DESCRIPTION:Ranging from Friedrich Nietzsche and the Doors to the nineteenth-century Alps and back\, Dyer’s book on last things is also a book about how to go on living with art and beauty—and on the entrancing effect and sudden illumination that an Art Pepper solo or Annie Dillard reflection can engender in even the most jaded and ironic sensibilities. Praised by Steve Martin for his “hilarious tics” and by Tom Bissell as “perhaps the most bafflingly great prose writer at work in the English language today\,” Dyer has now blended criticism\, memoir\, and humorous banter of the most serious kind into something entirely new. The Last Days of Roger Federer is a summation of Dyer’s passions\, and the perfect introduction to his sly and joyous work. \nFor more information click HERE.
