The Ongoing Moment ~ Paperback ~ Geoff Dyer

Great photographs change the way we see the world; "The Ongoing Moment" changes the way we look at both. Focusing on the ways in which canonical figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Andre Kertesz, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, and William Eggleston have photographed the same things barber shops, benches, hands, roads, signs award-winning writer Geoff Dyer seeks to identify their signature styles. In doing so, he constructs a narrative in which these photographers many of whom never met constantly encounter one another. The result is a kaleidoscopic work of extraordinary originality and insight."Author BiographyGeoff Dyer is the author of three novels, a critical study of John Berger, and four genre-defying books, including "But Beautiful," which was awarded the Somerset Maugham Prize, and "Out of Sheer Rage," which was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. The winner of a Lannan Literary Award, the International Center of Photography's 2006 Infinity Award for writing on photography, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters' E. M. Forster Award, Dyer lives in London.
