Geoff Dyer, geboren 1958, veröffentlicht sehr unterschiedliche Bücher. "But beautiful" wurde mit dem "Somerset Maugham Award" ausgezeichnet.
Tom Hunter blickt hinter Londons Kulissen und zeigt uns das echte Leben Tom Hunter s meticulously composed, painterly tableaux function on various levels: for one, he references important paintings from art history; for another, he tells us stories of our time stories that mainly take place in Hackney, the area of London where Hunter lives. What is perhaps his best-known painting is of a young woman in a setting that refers to Vermeer s Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window. However, Hunter s photo portrays Woman Reading a Possession Order a neighbor from the squatter s scene who has just received an eviction notice. The work drew such attention from the media that the eviction ultimately never took place.
