In mordantly funny and thought-provoking prose, the author of \u003ci\u003eOut of Sheer Rage\u003c\/i\u003e describes a life most of us would love to live—and how much that life frustrates and aggravates him. From Amsterdam to Cambodia, from Rome to Indonesia, from New Orleans to Libya, from Detroit to Ko Pha-Ngan, Dyer finds himself both floundering about in a sea of grievances and losing himself in moments of transcendental calm. This aberrant quest for peak experience leads, ultimately, to the Zone: to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada where—to quote Tarkovsky’s Stalker—“your most cherished desire will come true.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronicle of how Geoff Dyer learned to feel completely at home in a state of perpetual arrival and departure.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Geoff Dyer is the author of three novels: \u003ci\u003eThe Color of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Search\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eParis Trance; \u003cbr\u003ea critical study of John Berger, Ways of Telling\u003c\/i\u003e; and three genre-defying titles: \u003ci\u003eBut Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e (winner \u003cbr\u003eof the 1972 Somerset Maugham Prize), \u003ci\u003eThe Missing of the Somme\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOut of Sheer Rage\u003c\/i\u003e (a National Book Critics Circle finalist).
