Working The Room Av Geoff Dyer

<p>Alive with insight, wit and Dyer''s characteristic irreverence, this collection of essays offers a guide around the cultural maze, mapping a route through the worlds of literature, art, photography and music. <br><br>Besides exploring what it is that makes great art great, <i>Working the Room</i> ventures into more personal territory with extensive autobiographical pieces - ''On Being an Only Child'', ''Sacked'' and ''Reader''s Block'', among other gems. Dyer''s breadth of vision and generosity of spirit combine to form a manual for ways of being in - and seeing - the world today.</p>
