THE MAN WITHIN MY HEAD : BY PICO IYER (HARDCOVER) OLD

About the Book: The Man within My Head An extraordinary new book from one of our great non fiction writers! Ever since he first read Graham Greene, Pico Iker has been obsessed by the figure of the writer and by one of the great themes of Greene's work: what it means to be an outsider. Wherever he has travelled-usually Asan outsider himself--Iker has found reminders of Greene's life, observed scenes that might have been written by Greene, written stories theatrical Greene. Yet as Iker recounts the history of his obsession, another phantom image begins to assert itself, one that Iker had long banished from his inner life--that of his father. Insightful, tender, superbly written, The Man Within my Head is another masterpiece from one of our great travel writers.
