Beschreibung:

From one of our most astute observers, a haunting and unexpected investigation of the many voices he carries inside himself

''The Man Within My Head is one of a handful of magical books that I have read straight through'' Nicholas ShakespeareDaily Telegraph

''There are three men in this virtuoso memoir: Iyer comes to a better understanding of himself, the virtual man in his head and, movingly, the lifetime bond with his real father'' The Times

We all carry other people inside our heads – actors, leaders, writers, people from history or fiction, met or unmet, who sometimes seem closer to us than the people we know.

Pico Iyer investigates the mysterious closeness he has always felt with Graham Greene and follows him from his first novelThe Man Within, to such later classics asThe Quiet American. The further he delves, the more he begins to wonder whether the man within his head is not Greene but his own father, or perhaps some more shadowy aspect of himself.

Drawing upon experiences across the globe – from Bolivia to Berkhamsted to Bhutan – one of our most resourceful cultural explorers gives us his most personal and revelatory book.
