    <body><![CDATA[Brilliant. Some of the finest modern fiction writing I have read in some time. It's structure, tone, descriptions and deconstructionism is startling. I will be left thinking about this book for some time.<br/><br/>Initially, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3690187.Jeff_in_Venice_Death_in_Varanasi" title="Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi by Geoff Dyer">Jeff in Venice Death in Varanasi</a> is two distinct novellas. The first is recalls Hornby, as the writer we wished he had grown into. The second is a transcendental travelogue. However, on completing the whole of the novel, it is clear that neither novella would have the same depth of meaning and insight without the other.<br/><br/>Remarkable. A must read.]]></body>
