Description
 “Pico Iyer [is] one of the most soulful and perceptive writers of our time . . . Between terror
and transcendence, between epochs and cultures, Iyer locates the common hearth of human
experience . . . Exquisite.―—Brain Pickings“Meandering like a river, [Autumn Light] flows
along with a steady pace of rumination, only to abruptly plunge off a profound waterfall . . . It is a
mysteriously affecting book . . . A strange emotional fragility arises after sinking into the book, a
heightened sense of awareness of what is usually neglected. As I was reading, I often found
myself staring out the window in reverie; catching sight of a falling leaf would inexplicably cause
me to cry . . . Itâ€s not only a joy to read, itâ€s helpful . . .―—Los Angeles Review of
Books 'Iyer is known primarily for his travel writing, his erudite essays on literature, and his wise,
restrained accounts of his Buddhist-inflected striving for stillness and contentment. But memoir is
an equally exquisite aspect of his Å“uvre . . . Even in his daily life, playing Ping-Pong with
neighbors, he is a consummate tour guide, knowledgeable of his surroundings yet alert to all that
might strike foreign eyes as unexpected or inexplicable.―—The New Yorker'Illuminating . . .'
—Time“[An] exquisite personal blend of philosophy and engagement, inner quiet and worldly
life . . . a vivid meditation . . . Itâ€s Iyerâ€s keen ear for detail and human nature that helps
him populate his trademark cantabile prose . . . [a] genuine and loving tale.―—Los Angeles
Times“What holds everything together, besides Iyerâ€s elegantly smooth prose style and
gift for detailed observation, is a circling around the theme of autumn in Japan and this autumnal
period in his life . . . This season teaches him the lesson of impermanence, the inevitability of
decay and ‘how to hold on to the things we love even though we know that we and they are
dying†. . . Thereâ€s much wisdom in what he says―—The New York Times Book
Review “Iyer is a sharp-eyed observer of cultural collisions and cross-pollinations, a modernday
Mark Twain capable of leaping across borders by highlighting a single conundrum, irony or
ambiguity. In Autumn Light, he presents to the outside world with simplicity, grandeur and
sensitivity . . . Although ostensibly about mortality and grief, at its core Autumn Light is a
celebration of enigmas.―—LIFE Magazine“Profound . . . Iyerâ€s writing is both simple
and lyrical . . . The memoir succeeds, with its deceptively quiet descriptions of autumn both in the
natural world, and in the season of his and Hirokoâ€s own lives, in echoing a uniquely Japanese
appreciation of the fleeting nature of time, as well as the humbling acceptance that nothing
lasts.―—New York Journal of Books“The beauty of its prose and the quality of its insight,

this gentle, reflective reminiscence reveals again Iyer's literary virtuosity . . . Much of wh
