Last Days of Roger Federer

In this endlessly stimulating investigation into `things coming to an end, artists` last works, time running out`, Geoff Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last achievements of writers, painters, athletes and musicians who`ve mattered to him throughout his life. He examines Friedrich Nietzsche`s breakdown in Turin, Bob Dylan`s reinventions of old songs, Beethoven`s final quartets, Jean Rhys`s return from the dead (while still alive) and much more.
