Geoff Dyer is telling me about his Covid-19 vaccination. âAbout 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 â suddenly I was inundated with invitations to have a vaccine!â
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 Wildeâs image of the critic as artist. In writing criticism, I ask, is it important for him to achieve an aesthetic quality?
