Summary

From one of our most astute observers of inner journeys, a remarkable and unexpected investigation of the identity of the internal voice that haunts him. Ever since he first read Graham Greene's work as a schoolboy, 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 traveled--usually 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. And while his father has long held a distant and elusive place in Iyer's imagination, this intimately related inner journey reveals his father to him as a man more mysterious than he has ever envisioned.
