Video Night in Kathmandu

Pico Iyer’s Video Night in Kathmandu and Other Reports from the Not-So-Far East is a witty and insightful travelogue exploring Asia’s cultural transformation under the influence of Western pop culture. From Nepal’s fascination with Hollywood to Japan’s techno-spiritual paradoxes, Iyer captures the surreal blend of ancient traditions and modern consumerism across countries like India, China, Bali, and the Philippines.
