Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi - Geoff Dyer
KORTE INHOUD
A career-best performance from one of England’s greatest (if most reluctant) novelists.” Sunday Telegraph
In Venice, with the Biennale in full swing, disillusioned hack writer Jeff Atman meets a beautiful woman and they embark on a passionate affair.
In Varanasi, a man searching amid the chaos of India for something lost joins thousands of pilgrims on the banks of the Holy Ganges. He intends to stay for a few days but ends up remaining for months, gradually letting go of everything he has known.
Jeff Atman, a journalist, is in Venice to cover the opening of the Biennale. He's expecting to see a load of art, go to a lot of parties and drink too many bellinis. He's not expecting to meet the spellbinding Laura, who will completely transform his few days in the city. So begins a story of erotic love and spiritual learning that will reach its conclusion amidst the ghats of Varanasi.
