Book Title: White Sands /P
ISBN: 9781782117421
By Author(s):GEOFF DYER
By Publisher:CANONGATE
Format:PB

From one of our most original writers (Kathryn Schulz,New Yorkmagazine) comes an expansive and exacting bookfirmly grounded but elegant, often hilarious, and always inquisitiveabout travel, unexpected awareness, and the questions we ask when we step outside ourselves.

Geoff Dyers restless searchfor what?is unclear, even to himcontinues in this series of fascinating adventures and pilgrimages: with a tour guide who may not be a tour guide in the Forbidden City in Beijing; with friends in New Mexico, where D. H. Lawrence famously claimed to have had his greatest experience from the outside world; with a hitchhiker picked up on the way from White Sands; with Don Cherry (or a photo of him, at any rate) at the Watts Towers in Los Angeles.

Weaving stories about places to which he has recently traveled with images and memories that have persisted since childhood, Dyer tries to work out what a certain placea certain way of marking the landscapemeans; what its trying to tell us; what we go to it for.
