From Geoff Dyer’s book about writing a book, to Lucia Berlin’s booze-soaked characters – Keggie Carew shares her favourite stories that teach resilience
The writer who first taught me that delight can be taken in inspecting the soft underbelly of our conflicted selves was Geoff Dyer in Out of Sheer Rage, his hilarious account of failing to write about DH Lawrence. Dyer is a man who knows how to mine his own neuroses. It’s glorious stuff, fizzing with the agony of his neural synapses – of detours, destiny and disruption. DIY jostles with Rilke, and the only impediment is the author himself.
