From one of our most astute observers of human nature, a far-reaching exploration of Japanese history and culture and a moving meditation on impermanence, mortality and grief
Pico Iyer has written nonfiction books on globalism, Japan, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and forgotten places, and novels on Revolutionary Cuba and Islamic mysticism. He regularly writes about literature for the New York Review of Books; about travel for the Financial Times; and about global culture and the news for Time, the New York Times, and magazines around the world.
Luminous ... An engrossing narrative, a moving meditation on loss
and an evocative, lyrical portrait of Japanese society
*Publishers Weekly*
As a guide to far-flung places, Pico Iyer can hardly be
surpassed
*New Yorker*
Humbling and moving ... One of a handful of magical books that I
have read straight through
*Daily Telegraph*
In his guise of travel writer, Iyer has really been our most
elegant poet of dislocation
*Guardian*
