I am looking for British opinions and knowledge of Geoff Dyer. His most recent book is Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi. Americans feel free to chime in.
Is Geoff Dyer a well-known writer in Britain? Most Americans do not seem to have heard of him. Has his profile increased with Jeff in Venice? What do people think of him?
Nope. Never heard of him.
Never heard of him either.
I have a book of his about D.H. Lawrence which I still haven’t got round to reading, so I at least have heard of him. But clearly he’s not a household name.
Never heard of him.
Out of Sheer Rage is his book about DH Laurence. But its not about DH Laurence rilly, but about his struggles to write the book. Its also a very very good book. Have not read anything else. I’ll look for Jeff in Venice.
