Out of sheer rage: wrestling with d. h. lawrence

R$ 124,90

Sinopse

When he became interested in literature at grammar school, it was D.H. Lawrence who fired Geoff Dyer's imagination, and it was the figure of Lawrence, the miner's son who spent his life travelling, living by his pen, which made it seem possible to him to become a writer. The work is as much a travel book as a biography, as Geoff Dyer retraces Lawrence's journeys and, using Lawrence's own writings, life, and crucially, photographs as clues, learns much about matters close to his own heart as he does about Lawrence himself.

GEOFF DYER

O jornalista e escritor Geoff Dyer nasceu em 1958, em Cheltenham, na Inglaterra. Conhecido pelo estilo irônico, quase debochado, Dyer parte de reflexões íntimas para discutir temas universais, numa mistura sutil de ficção e não ficção. Autor, entre outros, do romance Jeff em Veneza, Morte em Varanasi, publicado no Brasil em 2010, Dyer remete ao chamado ensaio pessoal, estilo que permeia todas as suas obras, dos artigos sobre viagens (reunidos em Ioga para quem não está nem aí, 2007) à miscelânea de textos curtos de Otherwise known as the human condition (2011).
