06.03: Geoff Dyer

2014-05-13 20:39:03| Powells Books Events Calendar

As a child Geoff Dyer spent long hours making and blotchily painting model fighter planes. So the adult Dyer jumped at the chance of a residency aboard an aircraft carrier. Another Great Day at Sea (Pantheon) chronicles Dyer's experiences on the USS George H. W. Bush. A lanky Englishman in a deeply American world, he brilliantly records daily life onboard the ship, revealing it to be a prism for understanding a society where discipline, conformity, dedication, and optimism become forms of self-expression. Another Great Day at Sea is the definitive work of an author whose books defy definition.
