About this title

Review:

"An intriguing, magnetic, genre-rattling book" (The Times)

"Marvellous . . . a glorious truant from study . . . gives a better picture of (Lawrence) than any biography I know." (James Wood Guardian)

"The kind of book that gives literary criticism a bad name. Hilarious!" (John Berger)

"A masterpiece" (Mail on Sunday)

"If there was a prize for the year's funniest book then it would win hands down" (Independent on Sunday)

"Quite possibly the best living writer in Britain" (Daily Telegraph)

"A national treasure" (Zadie Smith)

"One of my favourite of all contemporary writers. I love his sense of the absurd, his pessimism mixed with robust good cheer, his beautifully crafted sentences, his jokes and his intelligence." (Alain de Botton)

"Geoff Dyer is a true original - one of those rare voices in contemporary literature that never ceases to surprise, disturb and delight. Risky, breathtakingly candid, intellectual, cool, outrageous, laconic and sometimes shocking, Geoff Dyer is a must-read for our confused and perplexing times." (William Boyd)

"[Out of Sheer Rage] gets the full Canongate Canons treatment from its new Edinburgh publishers this month; happy, happy news if ever there was any, O.O.S.R is vintage Dyer, and well worthy of this upgrade to 'modern classic' status." (Dazed and Confused)
