Dyer's books are among the most fresh and eclectic in contemporary letters... Because he has fought to preserve his own voice and style, never allowing them to become flattened into cliche; because he writes about his enthusiasms, Dyer's has long been a name to look out for amid the gossip, prurient interviews and celebrity trash of modern newspapers. That he exists at all, in such ruthlessly materialistic times - unattached to any newspaper, always on the move - is a celebration in itself. This book, a tribute to his persistence and originality, deserves to have a long after-life -- Jason Cowley * * The Times * *
One of the most rewarding books to emerge from Britain in the last twelve months, 'fiction' and 'non-fiction' alike * * Modern Painters * *
Pick up this book and you will find something interesting on every page * * Independent * *
For the sheer diversity of his passions, his career is already hard to beat -- Simon Garfield * * Financial Times * *
