      From a writer whose books succeed in either subverting or creating genres comes a unique look at an inaccessible world

      In November 2011, Geoff Dyer fulfilled a childhood dream of spending time on an aircraft carrier. Dyer''s stay on the USS George Bush, on active service in the Arabian Gulf, proved even more intense, memorable, and frequently hilarious, than he could ever have hoped.

      In Dyer''s hands, the warship becomes a microcosm for a stocktaking of modern Western life: religion, drugs, chauvinism, farting, gyms, steaks, prayer, parental death, relationships and how to have a beach party with 5000 people on a giant floating hunk of steel. Piercingly perceptive and gloriously funny, this is a unique book about work, war and entering other worlds.
