The ultimate slacker memoirs—part travelogue, part anecdote and much more—a comic tour de force. In his latest book, Geoff Dyer returns to his favourite subject—himself. In his very distinctive, neurotic, and quirkily humorous voice that has gained him a passionate fan base including Bryan Ferry and Steve Martin, Dyer writes about an accumulation of his experiences as a traveller, from the extraordinary Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert to getting drastically stoned in Paris; from contemplating the great Roman site Leptis Magna in Libya to the downright weirdness of decrepit Detroit. He is both confessional ? entertainingly frank about trying to pick up women in Thailand ? and very thoughtful ? wondering how the power of a particular place such as the Buddha in Si Satchanlai, Thailand, can work on a non-believer. Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It confirms Geoff Dyer as ‘Among the most original and talented writers of his generation.’ (Independent On Sunday)
