Pico Iyer describes himself as: "I am simply
a fairly typical product of a moveable sensibility, living and
working in a world that
is itself increasingly small and increasingly mongrel. I am a
multi national soul on a multi national globe on which more and
more countries are as polyglot and restless as airports. Taking
planes seems as natural to me as picking up the phone or going
to school: I fold myself and carry it around as if it were an
overnight bag."
Pico Iyer is the author of several books (Cuba
and the Night, Falling Off the Map: Some of the Loneliest
Places on the Earth) and has published essays in Harper's,
Time and The New Yorker
