Reviews
"A trenchant, impassioned look at a singular life" The New York Times Book Review "[An] elegant and intensely personal book...The Open Roadintermittently showcases Iyer's distinctive strength, his vivid travel writing.... The Dalai Lama,The Open Roadacknowledges, doesn't have all the answers; 'it's the questions he puts into play that invigorate.' One could say the same about Pico Iyer's marvelous little book." The Washington Post "The Open Road,Pico Iyer's beautifully written, up-close meditation about [the Dalai Lama] - a superb portrait of a celebrated figure whom the master journalist and his family have known personally for 30 years - arrives at a perfect time. As the International Campaign for Tibet tries to get news out about what's happening in Tibet despite severe Chinese censorship - some unofficial reports speak of Lhasa in flames, with far more killing than official Chinese media acknowledge -The Open Roadprovides context for the tragic events of this month and illuminates how a singular personality born to a highly ritualized leadership role has evolved over time…We're in the hands of a writer who completely understands his subject." The Philadelphia Inquirer "The bracing virtue of Iyer's thoughtful essay is that it allows us to imagine the Dalai Lama as something of an intellectual and spiritual adventurer, exploring fresh sources of individual identity and belonging in the newly united world." Pankaj Mishra,The New Yorker "[Iyer has] an access and insight into the Dalai Lama that lifts his writing above the clichés that normally surround him…The Open Roadis not a biography but it probably reveals more about its subject than any formal study." The Economist "An incisive analysis of the modern relevance of Tibetan Buddhism and its leader…Nonfiction of the highest caliber: fascinating and thorough." Kirkus(starred review) "A brilliant pairing of writer and subject." Publishers Weekly(starred review) "A wonderful book. I don't know when I have seen such a perfect match of a glorious subject and an author who can do justice to that subject." -Huston Smith, author ofThe World's Religions "Pico Iyer's exceptionally intimate portrait of the Dalai Lama takes us beyond global celebrity image and into a true private audience with a leader of tremendous complexity. Without ever losing compassion or respect for his subject, Iyer (like a good Buddhist, actually) peels away layer after layer of illusion, revealing critical truths about this man at every possible level. In so doing, the author makes an important case -- namely, that the world doesn't merely need larger-than-life humanitarian idols; the world needs larger-than-life humanitarian idols whom we can also recognize as being real people, whose limitations, doubts and personal struggles reflect our fragile humanity right back upon us." Elizabeth Gilbert, author ofEat, Pray, Love "Pico Iyer delights, weaving with scintillating intelligence and evident fondness a spell-binding tale of the 14th Dalai Lama's uncanny power on the world stage.The Open Roadintertwines an insider's access to telling detail with a well-seasoned journalist's skeptical sensibility. This thoughtful, thought-provoking book will open readers' eyes. I couldn't put it down." Daniel Goleman, author ofEmotional Intelligence "InThe Open, "An incisive analysis of the modern relevance of Tibetan Buddhism and its leader…Nonfiction of the highest caliber: fascinating and thorough." -Kirkus (starred review) "A brilliant pairing of writer and subject." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A wonderful book.

This thoughtful, thought-provoking book will open readers' eyes. I couldn't put it down." Daniel Goleman, author ofEmotional Intelligence "InThe Open Road, Pico Iyer transcends his celebrated excellence as a travel writer. In an uncommonly thoughtful and eloquent report on the spiritual reflections and also the complex and demanding political and practical encounters negotiated every day by the Dalai Lamaan old friend of his father whom he has known well since early boyhood, not only on regular sojourns at Dharamsala but as a companionable observer on His Holiness's tireless world travels on behalf of simple sanity and peaceIyer has brought us an invaluable account and precious gift." Peter Matthiessen, author ofThe Snow Leopard "Pico Iyer has taken on perhaps the hardest subject in the whole world to capture on paper: the story of a spiritual/political leader whose greatness is routinely condensed by media accounts into platitudes, and of a movement for both globalized understanding and the salvation of one very particular sliver of land. His account of the 14th Dalai Lama is an undiluted triumph, a book as subtle and moving as any nonfiction produced in recent decades. The planet and its possibilities will look different to you by its close."

Good item. Just a little bent up from shipping in a plastic bag instead of a bubble mailer. Hopefully this can be fixed before the next guy buys something from you. Nothing like a cracked up spine and dented up book that feels less cozy to warm up with....
