Product Description
As a child Geoff Dyer spent long hours making and blotchily painting model fighter planes. So as an adult, naturally he jumped at the chance to spend a week onboard the aircraft carrier the USS.Part deft travelogue, part unerring social observation, and part finely honed comedy, is the inimitable Dyers account of his time spent wandering the ships maze of walkways, hatches, and stairs, and talking with the crewfrom the Captain to the ships dentists. A lanky Englishman in a deeply American world, Dyer brilliantly records daily life aboard this floating fortress, revealing it to be a prism for understanding a society where discipline and conformity become forms of self-expression. At the same time we are reminded why Dyer is celebrated as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature.
