What Inspires Pico Iyer?

Pico Iyer is one of the most revered travel writers of our time. He's journeyed the world covering distant places for publications like Time, Harpers and The New Yorker. He's been to the kind of places most of us only dream of visiting:

  • Cuba
  • Vietnam
  • Ethiopa
  • Tibet


He's even chatted with the Dalai Lama. But with so many exotic experiences to his name, what corner of the globe does he like best? Where does he call home? Pico Iyer joins us to answer those questions and to talk about his latest book: Tropical Classical -- a collection of essays about the places and people he's met on his travels.
