The Missing Of The Somme by Geoff Dyer
An Emotional History
A reflective, hybrid essay-travelogue on how the First World War, and the Somme in particular, is remembered and imagined, moving through memorials, cemeteries, photographs, poems, and postcards to trace a culture of mourning. Blending historical observation with personal meditation, it explores the tension between absence and presence, the fate of the missing, and the ways monuments and rituals shape national memory and private grief.
