So, Geoff Dyer has written a book about Tarkovsky’s Stalker, one of the greatest films ever made.
According to the Guardian’s review, this should be right up my street. Good excuse to rewatch the film, and to spend a few pennies on a hardback.

Just went down to my car, into the trunk and the box of books to donate to the library, and took out the Geoff Dyer book I’ve never read. I think I’ll keep (and read) it.
