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 Iyer has been obsessed bythe 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--Iyer has found reminders of Greene's life, observedscenes that might have been written by Greene, written stories thatrecall Greene. Yet as Iyer recounts the history of his obsession, anotherphantom image begins to assert itself, one that Iyer had long banishedfrom his inner life--that of his father. Insightful, tender, superbly written,The Man Within my Head is another masterpiece from one of our greattravel writers.
