The Search: A Novel
Praise forThe Search: "A take on the detective/noir genre in the vein of Auster, Calvino, and Borges. . . . Dyer creates a series of puzzles, which are sure to send some back for a second read. . . .  [Dyer's] considerable talents, including the ability to write in other veins, are on display here." —Publishers Weekly“So it’s farewell my lovely and we’re off, on a package tour through gumshoe thriller, film noir, road movie . . . and chivalric romance . . . An ambitious, stylish novel.” —The Independent on Sunday“If any British writer can try on the mantle of Calvino, Dyer can. He has a poet’s gift with metaphor as well as an ability to grasp ideas, hold them, pass them on.” —New Statesman“As elegant as a mathematical theorem correctly expressed.” —The Sunday Times“Dyer injects an almost magical randomness into what ought to be the most conventional of tales, and gives us Surrealism where we might have expected Dirty Realism . . . Its after-image is hard to erase.” —The Spectator
