The Global Soul
Jet Lag, Shopping Malls, and the Search for Home
Pico Iyer
Using his own multicultural upbringing (Indian, American, British) as a point of departure, Iyer sets out on a journey -- both physical and psychological -- toward a definition of home in this world gone mobile. He travels to Los Angeles International Airport, where town life (shops, services, sociability) is available without a town; to Hong Kong, where hotels are self-contained communities; to Toronto, made cosmopolitan by its emigre population; to Atlanta, where the Olympic Village unintentionally commemorates the mass-produced universalism that shapes the games; to England, where the effects of empire-as-global-village are still being sorted out; and to Japan, where Iyer unexpectedly, and finally, finds a home for himself.
"As a guide to far-flung places, Pico Iyer can hardly be surpassed" (The New Yorker). In The Global Soul, he extends the far-flung places within and all around us.
