7:30 PM – Geoff Dyer: Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi
Elliott Bay Book Co.
The London author promotes his fourth book: “”Two 40-ish men seeking love and existential meaning are the protagonists of these highly imaginative twin novellas, written in sensuous, lyrical prose brimming with colorful detail … Both novellas ask trenchant philosophical questions, include moments of irresistible humor and offer arresting observations about art and human nature. For all his wit and cleverness, Dyer is unflinching in conveying the empty lives of his contemporaries, and I doing so he’s written a work of exceptional resonance.” – Publishers Weekly”
