Pico Iyer writes travel essays and reflective non-fiction about movement, stillness, exile and the feeling of living between cultures. The Art of Stillness argues for deliberate pauses in a hyperconnected life, while The Open Road follows years of conversations and travel with the Dalai Lama. Video Night in Kathmandu moves through rapidly changing Asian cities and tourist encounters, and The Global Soul considers airports, hotels and other spaces inhabited by people whose lives cross national boundaries. Iyer's prose is meditative and observant rather than guidebook-like, often using travel as a way to think about identity and attention. His work fits literary travel writing, essays, spirituality and cross-cultural memoir. Read more Less
