White Sands by Geoff Dyer

In White Sands, Geoff Dyer (one of the funniest writers alive --Chicago Tribune) finds himself on the road again, crisscrossing the globe from French Polynesia to northernmost Norway. Throughout his adventures--with a tour guide who may not be a tour guide in the Forbidden City in Beijing; with friends in New Mexico, where D. H. Lawrence famously claimed to have had his greatest experience from the outside world; with Don Cherry (or a photo of him, at any rate) at the Watts Towers in Los Angeles--Dyer interweaves fiction and nonfiction to craft an often hilarious, always inquisitive travelogue about the questions we ask when we step outside ourselves.

Out of Sheer Rage: Battling with D.H. Lawrence is written by Geoff Dyer. Lawrence, as well as Paris Trance: A Romance and Yet Beautiful: A Novel About Jazz, were all finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is based in the United Kingdom.
