Pico Iyer, whose writing has appeared in journals
ranging from the New York Times Book Review to Sports
Illustrated, will speak on “The Global Soul: The People of the
21st Century” on Thursday, April 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Nott
Memorial.
William Boyd has called Iyer “among the finest
travel writers of his generation.” His books include Video Night
in Kathmandu, The Lady and the Monk and Falling off the Map.
An essayist for Time, he has written generally on
foreign affairs, sport, religion, and history.
His latest book, The Global Soul, explores
“how borderlessness and a new sense of affiliation play out in cities
and hearts.”
