What: Seattle Arts & Lectures Presents.....PICO IYER
"The Literature of Discovery"
Join Adventure Associates, Seattle Arts & Lectures and incisive cultural reporter Pico Iyer as he speaks on "The Literature of Discovery"--the meaning of journeying in today's shrinking world--and hear more about his book of travels with Tibet's spiritual and political leader, The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Pico Iyer has referred to himself as a "global village on two legs." This consummate travel writer and cultural reporter was born in England to Indian parents, grew up in California, was educated at Eton and Oxford, and now lives in Japan and California. In 1985, at 28 he began the trip to the "not so Far East" that would result in Video Night in Kathmandu, a book that quickly established him as one of the world's leading travel writers in the vein of Jan Morris and Paul Theroux. His incisive observations on the emerging global culture continued with The Lady and the Monk: Four Seasons in Kyoto; Cuba and the Night; Global Soul: Jet Lag, Shopping Malls, and the Search for Home; and Abandon. His upcoming book is, according to Peter Matthiessen, " . . . an uncommonly thoughtful and eloquent report on the spiritual reflections and also the complex and demanding political and practical encounters negotiated every day by the Dalai Lama - an old friend of his father whom he has known well since early boyhood, not only on regular sojourns at Dharamsala but as a companionable observer on His Holiness's tireless world travels on behalf of simple sanity and peace - Iyer has brought us an invaluable account and precious gift."
