Geoff Dyer follows in the footsteps of John Berger, Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes

His book, Ways of Seeing, was a virtual bible for a generation of art students and those teaching in art schools.
In part inspired by the thinking that underpins the book, I used to set my students an exercise by asking them to bring with them a selection of picture postcards.

Geoff Dyer is telling me about his Covid-19 vaccination. “About two or three weeks ago, suddenly the whole vaccine thing exploded, and I was inundated. It was like when I used to get invited to literary festivals – suddenly I was inundated with invitations to have a vaccine!”
Dyer has just published his third photography book, See/Saw: Looking at Photographs (after The Ongoing Moment and The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand).  Reading this book is, simply put, a pleasurable experience, recalling Wilde’s image of the critic as artist. In writing criticism, I ask, is it important for him to achieve an aesthetic quality? ....
