The club is delighted to join forces for the first time with the Authors’ Club to welcome the travel writer and biographer Sara Wheeler to discuss her authorised biography of fellow travel writer Jan Morris. Publication coincides with the centenary of Jan Morris’ birth.
When Jan Morris joined the 1953 Everest expedition and was first to get news of the ascent back to London, she became the most famous journalist in the world. So began a glittering career covering the Eichmann trial, interviewing Che Guevara and scooping the story of Suez collusion. Morris transitioned in the early seventies and documented the experience in Conundrum. She was a pioneer and her books, including Venice and the Pax Britannica trilogy, have inspired readers across the globe.
Sara will be in conversation with Suzi Feay. Read further details here.
