The Man Within My Head – Pico Iyer

The Man Within My Head – Pico Iyer (Old/Bargain)|Ever since he first read Graham Greene, Pico Iyer 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 as an outsider himself – Iyer has found reminders of Greene?s life, observed scenes that might have been written by Greene, written stories that recall Greene. Yet, as Iyer recounts the history of his obsession, another phantom image begins to assert itself, one that Iyer had long banished from his inner life – that of his father.
