Location : NWS Great essays, many of them on photography and photographers. 'Unpacking my library', pages 156-161, was my favourite. Dyer seems to be a walking librarything, actually pencilling date and place of reading in all his books. There are some great soundbites in the essay: 'Books are to be arranged and classified, shuffled around', page 160, and on same page 'this library [his library]; it's not just the story of my life, it is my life'.

This volume collects Geoff Dyer's freelance work between 1984 and 1998. There are sustained meditations on photographers (from canonical figures like Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa to the barely known master William Gedney), on painters (Bonnard, Gauguin), musicians (Coltrane, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan) and close critical engagements with writers (Camus, Graham Greene, Cormac McCarthy, Michael Ondaatje and Martin Amis). Also here are idiosyncratic reflections on boxing, on collecting, on Airfix models and Action Man, and often hilarious accounts of his misadventures: flying in a Mig-29 in Moscow, on the razz with Def Leppard in Seoul, on safari in Africa, and in trouble learning to freefall parachute.
