The Colour of Memory

Informationen zum Autor Geoff Dyer Klappentext 'In the race to be first in describing the lost generation of the 1980s, Geoff Dyer in The Colour of Memory leads past the winning post. 'We're not lost,' one of his hero's friend's says, 'we're virtually extinct'.

It is the nostalgia of the DHSS Bohemians, the children of unsocial security, in an urban landscape of debris and wreckage.

A low-keyed style and laconic wit touch up The Colour of Memory .'
