Ever since he first discovered Graham Greene’s work, Pico Iyer has felt a haunting closeness with the English writer. In The Man Within My Head, Iyer follows Greene’s trail from his first novel, The Man Within, to such later classics as The Quiet American, examining Greene’s obsessions, his elusiveness, and his penchant for mystery. The deeper he plunges into this exploration, the more Iyer begins to wonder whether the man within his head might not be Greene but his own father, or perhaps some more shadowy aspect of himself.
