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. Throughout\, he stresses the accomplishments of uncouth geniuses who defied convention\, and went on doing so even when their beautiful youths were over. \nFor more information about the event click HERE.

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.

SUMMARY:Bay Area Book Festival - The End of Everything: Geoff Dyer and David Thomson on Aging and Other Disasters
DESCRIPTION:Few writers make us laugh–and think–as much as “effortlessly erudite” (The Boston Globe) polymath and self-described “malcontent” Geoff Dyer\, whose dizzying scope of knowledge and passion ranges from jazz to photography to cinema to yoga to visual art…we could go on. His new book\, The Last Days of Roger Federer: And Other Endings\, examines the waning years of minds (and lives) as brilliantly restless and singular as his own: from tennis legend Federer to Bob Dylan to Nietzsche\, and more. World-renowned film critic\, historian\, and novelist David Thomson is another multi-genre maestro whose latest\, Disaster\, Mon Amour\, is also an insightful\, witty meditation on dissolution: our collective cultural fascination with catastrophe (as long as it happens to someone else) and\, more seriously\, the way prettified disaster\, aided by virtual media\, helps us ignore reality (“we want our fears of physical ruin rendered as something so beautiful we feel no pain”). \nFor more information click HERE.

SUMMARY:Rebecca West: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:English PEN and The London Library celebrate the energetic\, fearless and fierce Rebecca West. \n‘Hard as nails… a cross between a charwoman and a gipsy\, but as tenacious as a terrier\, with flashing eyes… immense vitality… suspicion of intellectuals\, and great intelligence…’ \nSo said Virginia Woolf of Rebecca West\, prolific author\, journalist\, literary critic\, travel writer and one of the foremost public intellectuals of the twentieth century. Throughout her incredibly full life she wrote countless works of fiction and non-fiction\, travelled the world\, fought for women’s suffrage and opposed fascism\, covered the Nuremberg trials as a journalist\, sheltered Yugoslav refugees on her country estate\, had affairs with famous men\, had a son with H G Wells\, and always spoke her mind. \nWest was a founding member of English PEN and Vice President of The London Library. As both organisations celebrate our anniversaries\, 100 years and 180 years respectively\, we\, in turn\, celebrate one of the most energetic\, fearless and fierce figures in our organisations’ histories. \nTo find out more and book £5 tickets for this online event click HERE.

SUMMARY:UC Irvine\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Geoff will be giving a public reading at UC Irvine\, followed by a book signing. \nGeoff Dyer is widely considered one of the leading writers of his generation. According to the New York Times\, “Mr. Dyer insouciantly mixes fiction and nonfiction\, smuggling invented bits into the seams of his reported essays and stitching long threads of transparently autobiographical material into his novels.”  The New York Review of Books writes\, “This prowling and capricious nature has produced one of the strangest bodies of work in contemporary letters.”   The Daily Beast calls him “absurdly versatile”\, and the Los Angeles Times states that “he is always present\, a defining intelligence\, a tour guide to the inner life.”

SUMMARY:Skylight Books\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:MOLLY LAMBERT\, GEOFF DYER AND TOSH BERMAN DISCUSS I USED TO BE CHARMING: THE REST OF EVE BABITZ \nFrom the 1970s through the 1990s\, Eve Babitz wrote on a wild variety of topics for some of the biggest publications around\, from Esquire to Vogue to The New York Times Book Review. I Used to Be Charming brings together this nonfiction work. All previously uncollected\, these pieces range from sharp personal essays on body image and the male gaze to playful meditations on everything from ballroom dancing to kissing to perfume. There are breathtaking celebrity profiles\, too. In one\, Nicolas Cage takes her for a ride in his ’67 Stingray and in another she dishes about dragging Jim Morrison to bed before the Doors had even settled on a band name (“Jim was embarrassing because he wasn’t cool\, but I still loved him\,” she writes). In another essay\, the author ponders her earliest days in the spotlight\, posing nude with Marcel Duchamp\, and in another\, the never-before-published title essay\, she writes about the tragic accident that compelled her to leave that spotlight behind forever. \nMolly Lambert is a writer from and in Los Angeles.  \nGeoff Dyer’s many books include the novel Jeff in Venice\, Death in Varanasi\, But Beautiful (about jazz)\, Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It\, Zona (about Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker) and Out of Sheer Rage (on D. H. Lawrence). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. His books have won numerous prizes and have been translated into twenty-four languages. He is Writer in Residence at the University of Southern California. \nTosh Berman is a writer and publisher and editor for TamTam Books. His memoir TOSH: Growing Up in Wallace Berman’s World was recently published by City Lights Books. \nFor more information click here.

SUMMARY:London Review Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Dyer’s Out of Sheer Rage\, published in 1997\, is a brilliant account of attempting to write\, and most often failing\, a book about his great hero D.H. Lawrence. Now\, more than two decades later\, he has edited a selection of Lawrence’s essays for Penguin. Subjects covered in this freewheeling volume include art\, morality\, obscenity\, songbirds\, Italy\, Thomas Hardy\, the death of a porcupine in the Rocky Mountains and\, presciently\, the narcissism of photographing ourselves. \nDyer will be in conversation about Lawrence and non-fiction with historian and biographer Frances Wilson whose most recent book is Guilty Thing: A Life of Thomas de Quincey. \nFor more information visit London Review Bookshop’s website here.

SUMMARY:Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, California
DESCRIPTION:In this special 50th-anniversary celebration of the movie\, Geoff explains why it is indelibly imprinted on his consciousness and that of almost all British males of a certain age. This event includes film clips and\, if watches can be synchronized correctly\, perfectly matched readings from the book. \nGeoff’s earlier book on film\, Zona\, was about Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker\, so it was perhaps inevitable that he should next devote his unique critical and stylistic energies to Brian G. Hutton’s Where Eagles Dare—a thrilling 1968 Alpine adventure starring a magnificent\, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood. Broadsword Calling Danny Boy is Dyer’s hilarious tribute to a film that he has loved since childhood\, including a scene-by-scene analysis that takes the reader from its snowy\, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax.  \nBook signing to follow.
