This book title, Abandon, ISBN: 9781400030859, by Pico Iyer, published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group (April 13, 2004) is available in paperback. Moving deftly from California academia to the mosques of Iran, filled with insights into the minds of Islam and the modern West, Abandon is a magic carpet-ride of a book. Are these quests somehow related? And can Macmillan give himself over to them without losing his career and identity? The first is for a mysterious Rumi manuscript that may have been smuggled out of Iran the second for the elusive Camilla Jensen, who continually offers herself to him only to repeatedly slip from his grasp. John Macmillan, a classically reticent Englishman who has moved to California to study the poems of the Sufi mystic Rumi, unexpectedly becomes involved in two equally absorbing quests.

Pico Iyer’s intoxicating new novel is at once a stylish intellectual mystery and a pulse-quickening love story-the love in question being at once sacred and profane. Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.
