See/Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our
perspectives. Starting from single images by the world's most important
photographers - from Eugène Atget to Alex Webb - Geoff Dyer shows us how to read
a photograph, as he takes us through a series of close readings that are by
turns moving, funny, prescient and surprising. Following Dyer's previous books
on photography, The Ongoing Moment and The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand,
See/Saw brilliantly combines visual scrutiny and stylistic flair. It shows us
how a photograph can simultaneously record and invent the world, and reveals a
master seer at work. In the spirit of the intellectual curiosity of Berger,
Sontag and Didion, Geoff Dyer helps us to see the world around us, and within
us, afresh.
