Another Great Day at Sea - Geoff Dyer - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

In November 2011, Geoff Dyer fulfilled a childhood dream of spending time on an aircraft carrier. Dyer''s stay on the USS George Bush , on active service in the Arabian Gulf, proved even more intense, memorable, and frequently hilarious, than he could ever have hoped. In Dyer''s hands, the warship becomes a microcosm for a stocktaking of modern Western life: religion, drugs, chauvinism, farting, gyms, steaks, prayer, parental death, relationships and how to have a beach party with 5000 people on a giant floating hunk of steel. Piercingly perceptive and gloriously funny, this is a unique book about work, war and entering other worlds.
