Industry Reviews
"Whether you agree with his opinions or not, Iyer excels at getting the conversation going, and his bright wit, eclectic erudition and enviable turn-of-phrase talents suggest he would make a dazzling dinner-party guest..."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Upchurch (04/06/1997)

"...Mr Iyer is a gentle yet astute observer of a variety of foreign locales, a thoughtful, generous reader and a versatile writer happy to grace with his rich, witty prose topics like punctuation, the number 9 or book-cover blurbs. Again and again Mr. Iyer shows his fascination with juxtaposing cultures....Mr. Iyer is open and curious, both humorous and thoughtful."
New York Times Book Review - Elizabeth Hanson (05/04/1997)

"[A] fascinating portrait of the turbulent and tentative emergence of a truly global culture....A pleasing, occasionally sobering, and provocative exploration of the new culture emerging around us and the figures bringing it to life."
Brumberg

This package of Iyer travel-writing, book reviews, and cultural essays comes from a spectrum of publications. Its images straddle the world, from manholes hissing in New York City to a Wyoming flash of lightning that flings a woman across a dusty road..."
Hass

"You can open it at random, as you would an atlas, and turn up something fascinating."
Updike
