Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi: A Novel | Geoff Dyer

1 post | 3 read | 3 to read

A New York Times Notable Book A Best Book of the Year: The Economist, The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Slate.com, and Time In Venice, at the Biennale, a jaded, bellini-swigging journalist named Jeff Atman meets a beautiful woman and they embark on a passionate affair. In Varanasi, an unnamed journalist (who may or may not be Jeff) joins thousands of pilgrims on the banks of the holy Ganges. He intends to stay for a few days but ends up remaining for months. Their journey—as only the irrepressibly entertaining Geoff Dyer could conjure—makes for an uproarious, fiendishly inventive novel of Italy and India, longing and lust, and the prospect of neurotic enlightenment. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi: A Novel | Geoff Dyer

this is probably the last good reading memory i have ā€¦ and i may have cheap tastes, but this is such a good cover. so symmetrical and YUMMY.

i have a moratorium on reading geoff dyer for now because i had that reaction i have to writers i‘ve over-read when i tried reading another book of his. you don‘t want to risk becoming allergic to a writer‘s voice so it‘s safer to just not read his book on writing and not writing about DH lawrence, for now.
