Summary

From Amsterdam to Cambodia, from Rome to Indonesia, from New Orleans to Libya, and from Detroit to Ko Pha-Ngan, Geoff Dyer finds himself both floundering about in a sea of grievances and finding moments of transcendental calm.

This aberrant quest for peak experiences leads, ultimately, to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where, to quote Tarkovsky's Stalker, 'your most cherished desire will come true'.

Available for the first time as an audiobook, Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It is read for you by Tom Hollander.

"He flits from one exotic location to another...meditating with frightening intelligence and laser-guided wit on the human comedy. At times i was reduced to helpless laughter, at others to impotent envy. (Mail on Sunday)

An interesting structure to the book. At first I was confused by the style, but soon came to enjoy the separate moments in time, captured by evocative descriptions of place, time and different emotions of the author. The gentle voice of the narrator perfectly matched the mood of the story.

Clever and Unusual

There are a handful of audiobooks that raise this medium to an artform. This is one of them. Tom Hollander’s reading is generous and tonally perfect.

Funny, profound and brilliantly performed.
