About this product
Product Information
Returning to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law's sudden death, Pico Iyer picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office and engaging in furious games of ping-pong every evening. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, he comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age, children scatter, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance, and where autumn reminds us to take nothing for granted.

Reviews
"The beloved travel writer and journalist's wistful and conscious memoir filled with musings about home, culture, family, and death . . . With his trademark blend of amiability, lighthearted humor, and profound observations, Iyer celebrates emotional connection and personal expression, and he upholds death as an affirmation of life and all its seasons." --Booklist [starred] "Luminous. . . The book is party a love letter to [his] vibrant [wife] Hiroko, whose clipped English unfolds like haiku, and it's party and homage to the Japanese culture of delicate manners, self-restraint, and acceptance that 'sadness lasts longer than mere pleasure.' The result is an engrossing narrative, a moving meditation on loss, and an evocative, lyrical portrait of Japanese society."-- Publisher's Weekly "A lucid writer with endless curiosity, and a secularist with a searcher's heart. . . Has any travel writer ever written this book? In choosing to exchange life as a perpetual visitor for that of a resident in Japan, Iyer finds a hopeful-making amount of freedom in living in - not just borrowing - daily rituals. . . [ Autumn Light ] is also a tremendously wise book on the late fires of marriage, how moving toward old age, if you're lucky, as he is, a burst of warmth emerges to push you forward into the final step, the journey no one's been able to write about. -- Literary Hub "The acclaimed travel writer and journalist meditates on the impermanence of life. Like many others, Iyer reveres the beauty and portent of autumn. . . Throughout the narrative, the author mixes musings on the ephemerality of existence with scenes of quotidian life. . . a thoughtful work with many poignant moments. . ." -- Kirkus Reviews
