This well-traveled copy of Pico Iyer’s “Video Night in Kathmandu” offers a unique glimpse into the cultural intersection of East and West in the late 20th century. As a British-born writer of Indian descent, Iyer brings a distinct perspective to his observations on the rapidly changing landscapes of Asia. Published in 1988, this collection of essays captures the tension between tradition and modernity, as ancient civilizations grappled with the influx of Western influences. Iyer’s vivid prose transports readers to bustling cities like Hong Kong and Bali, where he contemplates the complexities of globalization and the enduring allure of exotic locales. With its insightful commentary and evocative descriptions, this book remains a captivating read for armchair travelers and cultural enthusiasts alike. Despite its well-worn exterior, this copy invites readers to embark on a thought-provoking journey through the eyes of a celebrated travel writer.
