he [Geoff Dyer] wrote a book on the 1979 Russian film Stalker. "I happened to see Stalker again, and I wrote a tiny thing about it for The Guardian--and, frustratingly, realised I had a lot more to say. I started bunking off from the tennis book to summarise the film. Then I found a tone I really liked. It's all about tone for me--having a tone, finding a tone. No tone, misery. After I get the tone, fun."At some point, he had to break this huge change of direction to Canongate.
