AUTUMN LIGHT - PICO IYER KARTONIERT (TB)

We cherish things  Japan has always known  precisely because they cannot last  it's their
frailty that adds sweetness to their beauty. Returning to his home in Japan after his
father-in-law's sudden death  Pico Iyer soon picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday
rites: going to the post office in the day and engaging in spirited games of ping-pong in the
evenings. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honouring the dead  he soon
finds himself grappling with the question we all have to live with: how to hold on to the
things we love even though we know that they - and we - are dying. As the maple leaves begin to
turn and the heat starts to soften  Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before through
the season that reminds us to take nothing for granted.
