SUMMARY:Texas Book Festival\, Austin\, TX
DESCRIPTION:In new books about the making of two famous films of the 1960s\, award-winning writers Geoff Dyer (Broadsword Calling Danny Home) and W. K. Stratton (The Wild Bunch) take us behind the scenes of Where Eagles Dare\, starring Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton\, and Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch. Loving homages by fans of these films that also look at the cultural forces at play when they were created\, Dyer and Stratton demonstrate the legacy of these moving pictures and why they have endured.

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.

DESCRIPTION:In his essay collection White Sands\, Geoff Dyer spins dazzling travelogues out of the least likely places on earth. From desolate desert landscapes to the “hellhole” of Norway’s Arctic reaches\, “the less promising his subject\, the more brilliant Dyer gets” (Guardian). \nIn this talk moderated by Jeffrey Mather\, Dyer will speak about travel writing\, his famous disregard for the line between fiction and non-fiction and the alchemy by which he turns dull and disappointing subjects into literary treasure.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Where Eagles Dare: Broadsword Calling Danny Boy with Geoff Dyer
DESCRIPTION:Join Geoff Dyer for a hilarious scene-by-scene commentary of cult classic Second World War film Where Eagles Dare. With its historical inaccuracies\, camp SS officers and inexplicable plot twists\, starring a magnificent\, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a coolly anachronistic Clint Eastwood\, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies\, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. ‘Broadsword Calling Danny Boy’ is Geoff Dyer’s tribute to the film he has loved since childhood: a scene-by-scene analysis taking us from its snowy\, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax. \n‘Geoff Dyer’s funniest book yet. Who else would work in Martha Gellhorn on the first page of a book on the film Where Eagles Dare?’ Michael Ondaatje
