Overview
'Dyer is becoming a character just as arch and seductive as that professional self-effacer from the previous generation, Alan Bennett' Observer
Alive with insight, wit and Dyer''s characteristic irreverence, this collection of essays offers a guide around the cultural maze, mapping a route through the worlds of literature, art, photography and music.
Besides exploring what it is that makes great art great, Working the Room ventures into more personal territory with extensive autobiographical pieces - ''On Being an Only Child'', ''Sacked'' and ''Reader''s Block'', among other gems. Dyer''s breadth of vision and generosity of spirit combine to form a manual for ways of being in - and seeing - the world today.
