Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi
Geoff Dyer
Every two years, the international art world descends on Venice for the opening of the Biennale. Among them is Jeff Atman, a jaded and dissolute journalist whose dedication to the cause of Bellini-fuelled partygoing is only intermittently disturbed by the obligation to file a story. When he meets the spellbinding Laura, he is rejuvenated, ecstatic. Their romance blossoms quickly, but is it destined to disappear just as rapidly? Every day, thousands of pilgrims head to the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi. Among them is our narrator, who may or may not be the Atman we met in Venice. As days turn to months, he discovers a hitherto unexamined idea of himself, the self. In a romance he can only observe, he sees a reflection of the kind of pleasures that he has renounced. In the process, two ancient and watery cities become versions of each other.
