About the Author D.
H.
Dyer\'s selection of Lawrence\'s Essays is a wonderful introduction to a fundamental, dazzling writer.
We get Lawrence the book reviewer, writing about Death in Venice and welcoming Ernest Hemingway
Lawrence the travel writer, in Mexico and New Mexico and Italy
Lawrence the memoirist, depicting his strange sometime-friend Maurice Magnus
Lawrence the restless inquirer into the possibilities of the novel, writing about the novel and morality and addressing the question of why the novel matters; and, finally, the Lawrence who meditates on birdsong or the death of a porcupine in the Rocky Mountains.
Here Geoff Dyer, one of the finest essayists of our day, draws on the whole range of Lawrence\'s published Essays to reintroduce him to a new generation of readers for whom the essay has become an important genre.
He was a brilliant, endlessly controversial novelist who transformed, for better and for worse, the way we write about sex and emotions; he was a wonderful poet; he was an essayist of burning curiosity, expansive lyricism, odd humor, and radical intelligence, equaled, perhaps, only by Virginia Woolf.
Lawrence as the great multi-instrumentalist among the great writers of the twentieth century.
