Pico Iyer, who Time magazine said is "among the finest travel writers of his generation," was interviewed by The Oxford American's editor and founder, Marc Smirnoff, at the Oxford American Summit for Ambitious Writers on June 23, 2011.
Pico Iyer is the author of seven works of nonfiction, including VIDEO NIGHT IN KATHMANDU (cited on many lists of the best travel books ever), THE LADY AND THE MONK (finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award in the category of Current Interest), and THE GLOBAL SOUL (subject of websites and theatrical productions around the world). His most recent book, THE OPEN ROAD, describing more than thirty years of talking and traveling with the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, came out in a dozen countries, and was a bestseller across the U.S.
Praised by TIME as "among the finest travel writers of his generation," Mr. Iyer writes on literature for THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS, on globalism for HARPER'S, and on many other topics for such venues as the NEW YORK TIMES, which affirms Mr. Iyer to be "brilliant...[he] reflects back at us images from a post-colonial world that is gorgeously complex and stubbornly elusive, yet firmly within his grasp."
