Book description
From Amsterdam to Cambodia, from Rome to Indonesia, from New Orleans to
Libya, and from Detroit to Ko Pha-Ngan, Geoff Dyer finds himself both
floundering about in a sea of grievances and finding moments of
transcendental calm. This aberrant quest for peak experiences leads,
ultimately, to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where, to quote
Tarkovsky's Stalker, 'your most cherished desire will come true'.
Among the most original and talented writers of his generation.
