Out of Sheer Rage: Wrestling With D.H. Lawrence by Geoff Dyer
4.0
Geoff Dyer is crazy. I mean it in a good way. In fact better: I mean - he’s crazy in a way you want people to be crazy. Yes. Let’s face it we want (some) people to be crazy. In a way we want to be crazy that is. But we do. Don’t deny it. In a world where no one is crazy (in a way we want them to be crazy) it would be so boring. That world will be like a world without writers like Geoff Dyer. I’d rather not live in such a world. I’d rather live in a world where Geoff Dyer is -- and is crazy in a way we want people to be crazy.
I picked up Out of Sheer Rage, out of sheer coincidence. Okay, honest now. I picked it up, because I got it at a bargain price. This crazy scholarly study of D. H. Lawrence, would hardly have meant anything to me, as I had/have not read Lawrence. Not a single line. But after reading OoSR, I want to go and read Lawrence -- some of him at least -- and go back and read OoSR again. But even if I don't do it (read Lawrence), I may go back and read parts of OsSR again.
Absolutely funny and highly philosophical, this is my Dyer #2. And the queue has a few more, and growing. And I hope, one day, I write such a scholarly study of Dyer as he has done of Lawrence!
