ALOUD @ Los Angeles Public Library
Geoff Dyer: Searching to See: Experiences from the Outside World
18 May 2016
From the Watts Towers in Los Angeles to the Forbidden City in Beijing, Geoff Dyer’s newest collection of essays, White Sands: Experiences from the Outside World, explores what defines place: where do we come from, what are we, where are we going? The elegant, witty, and always inquisitive Dyer returns to ALOUD to reflect on his unexpected findings with Jonathan Lethem—celebrated for his novels, essays, and short stories—to illuminate the questions we ask when we step outside ourselves.
