Description: In this book-length interview, Olivier Roy, a leading expert on political Islam, tells the story of how his many adventures and discoveries have shaped his understanding of the Islamic world. In Search of the Lost Orient is both a significant intellectual autobiography and a compelling travelogue.
Review Quotes: A dizzying account of an enviably adventurous life. For an 'intellectual autobiography' it is almost indecently swashbuckling and action-packed.-- "Hurriyet"
