The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama (Vintage Departures)
Man Within My Head
I read Video Night in Kathmandu just before I made my first trip overseas, to Nepal and to Tibet. The book grabbed me by the throat and I’ve been reading Iyer’s books ever since. He connected me to a completely new way of writing, depicting globalism at a time when it was not being written about by writers in this way. His book The Open Road is as much about his relationship with his father as with his observations of the Dalai Lama while his latest book is The Man Within My Head, about his connection to Graham Greene.
