PICO IYER at Town Hall Seattle

01/25/2012 7:30 pm
Presented by SEATTLE ARTS & LECTURES. A longtime favorite of Elliott Bay—and Seattle Arts & Lectures—readers, Pico Iyer is back this evening with a delightful new book in hand. The Man Within My Head (Knopf) is a layering of Pico Iyer's affinity with the writer Graham Greene, layered with exploring his own relationship with his father. "Graham Greene isn't the man essayist and novelist Iyer would choose to take up residence in his head ... but it's his lifelong fascination with Greene that fuels this deeply personal journey that crisscrosses the world and his own past ... In the hands of a lesser writer, the dueling father figures would dissolve into melodrama, but Iyer weaves them together brilliantly, reminding us that 'we run from who we are ... only to discover, of course, that that is precisely what we can never put behind us.'" – Publishers Weekly. Tickets are $15 general, $5 student, $30 patron—available, along with more information, at www.lectures.org. (206) 621-2230 for more information. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
