Writer Geoff Dyer on What Makes the Writing Life | Louisiana Channel

“I think writing has always been this nice thing of the safety net for those who have sort of messed up everything else.” Meet the English writer Geoff Dyer who doesn’t distinguish between novels and non-fiction and is known and awarded for his genre-defying books. In this video, Geoff Dyer shares his process and thoughts on writing. ”I write a note to myself: remember, write the book that only you could write,” he says. Dyer doesn’t determine which kind it should be before starting a book.
