## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flights with Iyer
*by D***L on February 22, 2013*

As usual, Iyer takes me to places I would have never visited without him. This collection of essays takes the reader from California to Japan to Angor Wat to Bolivia-- I'm always surprised by the places Iyer has been to, and his easy way of sharing his thoughts about them. This is a great armchair traveler book. You might not have time/energery/money to visit all these places, but Iyer's descriptions are so vivid that he does all the work for you--you just have to go along for the ride.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by M***S on August 21, 2014*

Pico is always good

### ⭐⭐⭐ An uneven collection
*by D***O on September 16, 2006*

The titular star In Sun After Dark comes from Albert Camus, who wrote that he was born "halfway between poverty and the sun." The quote serves as a touchstone and a frame through which to view a disparate collection of essays, the common theme of which aspires to be the search for hope in even the darkest corners of the world."We travel most ...when we stumble, and we stumble most when we come to a place of poverty and need...."In this latest volume of travel reminiscences, British-born Indian Pico Iyer claims to take the reader on a walk through the dark side, essays on visits to some of the world's lost and forgotten countries, from Cambodia, to Yemen, Bolivia and Haiti. And when Iyer sticks to the theme, his writing shines."...luxury, for some of us, is measured by the things we can do without."Unfortunately, it seems either Iyer or the publisher decided to pad out the book with several pieces only marginally related to the theme, and so besides a memorable Kafkaesque journey through Yemen (that will have anyone who has lived on the Arabian peninsula laughing), we also get entirely forgettable book reviews, unrelated (if interesting) visits with Leonard Cohen and the Dalai Lama, and an insightful discourse on jet lag."...space and time open up as soon as you take leave of the simples ways in which you define yourself."I took this book on a recent journey to Vietnam and despite its uneven content it was a mostly rewarding companion. I suspect many readers interested in travel or in Pico Iyer should find in it something of value, if only small passages like the ones I have quoted here, and with which I end."One virtue of grandparents, of seasons, or deer who come down from the hills, is that they remind us that we don't know everything, and can't make the world up entirely from scratch; much of it - most of it - is beyond our reach, even beyond our reckoning."
