Brooklyn By the Book: Geoff Dyer

From one of our most original writers (Kathryn Schulz, New York magazine) comes White Sands, an expansive and exacting book firmly grounded, but elegant, witty, and always inquisitive about travel, unexpected awareness, and the questions we ask when we step outside ourselves. Geoff Dyer’s restless search—for what? is unclear, even to him—continues in this series of fascinating adventures and pilgrimages: with a tour guide who is in fact not a tour guide at the Forbidden City in Beijing, with friends in New Mexico, where D. H. Lawrence famously claimed to have had the greatest experience from the outdoor world, with a hitchhiker picked up near a prison at White Sands, with Don Cherry (or a photo of him, at any rate) at the Watts Towers in Los Angeles.
