Geoff Dyer joins Radio Silence
July 30, 2011
We just lined up the brilliant UK writer Geoff Dyer for the debut issue of the magazine. If you haven’t read it, I recommend his book of travel essays, Yoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It. He’s going to write for us about his teenage obsession with the ’70s psychedelic band Family.
Here’s something the Guardian put out last year, 10 rules for writing fiction by several authors. Geoff’s list is about halfway down the page.
