As he enters late middle age, Geoff Dyer turns, in The Last Days of Roger Federer, to the question of late \\u2013 or, indeed, last \\u2013 style. Lisa Appignanesi writes, \\u2018Geoff Dyer\'s wry meditations on mortality and late style have a dazzling way of dispelling gloom. Nietzsche and the Turin horse, vaporised Turner, dolorous Dylan, antics on courts and at Burning Man, Dyer\'s Last Days had me laughing aloud, a sure signal of deft seriousness. What is there to say except if this is late Dyer, it\'s great Dyer.\\u2019 Geoff is in conversation with the poet and critic Mark Ford.
