About The Event
Celebrated author Geoff Dyer will speak at Monmouth University about his highly acclaimed book on war and remembrance, The Missing of the Somme, on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at 7 pm in Pollak Theatre. The event, sponsored by the Department of History and Anthropology, is free and open to the public.
Geoff Dyer is the author of four novels: Paris Trance, The Search, The Colour of Memory, and, most recently, Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi; two collections of essays, Anglo-English Attitudes and Working the Room; and five genre-defying titles: But Beautiful, The Missing of the Somme, Out of Sheer Rage, Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It, and The Ongoing Moment.
His book, Otherwise Known as the Human Condition – a selection of essays from Anglo-English Attitudes and Working the Room – was published in the US in April 2011 and was awarded the 2011 National Book Critics Circle award for Criticism. He has also written, Zona, about Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker, and Another Great Day at Sea: Life Aboard the USS George H.W. Bush.
