This Could Be Home: Raffles Hotel and the City of Tomorrow

Pico Iyer

Acclaimed travel writer draws upon his numerous stays at the iconic Raffles Hotel for a discovery of not just yesterday, but tomorrow. As the hotel's first Writer-in-Residence, he explores the restored grounds and reveals a rich literacy legacy with cameos by Maugham, Kipling, Didion and many other writers. This compact volume is a personal, thoughtful and surprising look at a Singapore we too often take for granted.
