One of our most prolific and articulate writers on globalism and the new age of travel, Pico Iyer is the author of numerous acclaimed works of fiction and non-fiction, including Video Night in Kathmandu, The Lady and the Monk, Falling off the Map, The Global Soul, and The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.
Iyer will be interviewed by Don George, an award-winning travel writer and Contributing Editor and Book Columnist for National Geographic Traveler, in a wide-ranging conversation on the challenges and rewards of travel in the 21st century, the nature of home, and the abiding allure of the planet’s far-flung places. A book-signing will follow.
The event will be followed by a reception sponsored by AT&T.
This is a Twitter-friendly event.
