Encyclopedia of the Human Condition: Commentary by Jeff Dyer

About This Novel
Jeff Dyer has won the hearts of passionate fans on both sides of the Atlantic with his inventive romance novels and brilliant, uncategorizable nonfiction. At the same time, he also wrote some of the most witty and incisive commentary on a surprising range of subjects-music, literature, photography, and travel journalism-that became an irresistible form of self-reporting. Encyclopedia of the Human Condition is a collection of Jeff Dyer's 25 years of essays, commentary, and misadventures. In the book, he traces the shadow of Camus in Algeria and recalls the relief life in Briston in the 1980s; he reflects on the status of jazz, high fashion and contemporary art. No matter what he writes about, his answers always surprise the reader. For him, there is no disconnect between the critic's reflective work and the novelist's commitment to lived experience: they are mutually illuminating ways of sharpening our perceptions.
