Geoff Dyer with Geoffrey Harpham: The Last Days of Roger Federer
Mon, Nov 4 from 4pm - 5pm
“I define retirement as the phase of life in which I will do nothing but watch tennis,” writes Geoff Dyer in The Last Days of Roger Federer. The book is his meditation on things coming to an end and an examination of the late achievements of a range of writers, painters, athletes and musicians. “Tennis, jazz, Dylan, movies, TV, drugs, Nietzsche, Beethoven. Geoff Dyer once again melds commentary and observation with intellect and wit.”—Steve Martin. He muses on last performances and last works, with plenty of lively detours along the way, together with Geoffrey Harpham, author of Citizenship on Catfish Row.
