About the Book

Geoff Dyer was a talented young writer and determined to write a study of D.H.Lawrence. But when he sat down to write the book, he found himself distracted by. everything. Geoff is a man who finds himself gripped by indecision at every turn, who agonises over where to settle down to write, whether or not he should move in with his almost-girlfriend, and even which edition of Lawrence's poems to pack in his rucksack. Out of these endless evasions, as he travels the world, Dyer provides fascinating insights into Lawrence's life and the continuing value of his work - and into the myriad anxieties that define the life of a writer.

About the Author :
Geoff Dyer is the author of Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi and three previous novels, as well as many non-fiction books including The Ongoing Moment (winner of the ICP Infinity Award for Writing on Photography), But Beautiful (winner of the Somerset Maugham Prize), The Missing of the Somme and two collections of essays. He is the recipient of the E.M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and of a Lannan Literary Fellowship.

Review :
* Quite possibly the best living writer in Britain Daily Telegraph * An intriguing, magnetic, genre-rattling book The Times * The kind of book that gives literary criticism a bad name. Hilarious! -- John Berger * If there was a prize for the year's funniest book then it would win hands down Independent on Sunday * A masterpiece Mail on Sunday * Marvellous ... a glorious truant from study ... gives a better picture of (Lawrence) than any biography I know. -- James Wood Guardian * A national treasure -- Zadie Smith * One of my favourite of all contemporary writers. I love his sense of the absurd, his pessimism mixed with robust good cheer, his beautifully crafted sentences, his jokes and his intelligence. -- Alain de Botton * Geoff Dyer is a true original - one of those rare voices in contemporary literature that never ceases to surprise, disturb and delight. Risky, breathtakingly candid, intellectual, cool, outrageous, laconic and sometimes shocking, Geoff Dyer is a must-read for our confused and perplexing times. -- William Boyd * [Out of Sheer Rage] gets the full Canongate Canons treatment from its new Edinburgh publishers this month; happy, happy news if ever there was any, O.O.S.R is vintage Dyer, and well worthy of this upgrade to 'modern classic' status.
