Beginning
Geoff Dyer is back in Los Angeles, but an episode in hospital provokes a more internal journey.
Much loved author Geoff Dyer has been described as a 'true original' by William Boyd. White Sands is his latest travel book and is a collection of travel essays that go beyond the logistics of getting from A to B and offer mediations on landscape, time and humanity all relayed with characteristic wit and sharp observation. In this last episode Dyer is back in Los Angeles, but an episode in hospital provokes a more internal journey.
Read by Alex Jennings who has recently played Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alan Bennett in The Lady in the Van.
