Anglo-English Attitudes
«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»
