On this episode of “The Literary Life” podcast, Mitchell’s guest is Pico Iyer. Part monk, part reveler, the British born American of Indian parents has written ten acclaimed nonfiction works, two novels, and hundreds of journalistic articles. Pico shares his personal blend of philosophy, inner quiet, thoughts on his friend, the Dalai Lama, and his new book, “Autumn Light,”  a reflection on his life in Japan. This conversation was recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
