Of what value is travel writing in a discovered world? In re-translating the world, in fact, in the personal journey and in the imaginative quest. Through workshops, tutorials and discussions, this course will explore the transformation of our ordinary encounters and epic journeys into articles, stories and books as we revisit old ground with new questions.
Rory MacLean is one of Britain’s most inventive and expressive travel writers. His ten books include UK best sellers Stalin’s Nose, Under the Dragon, and most recently, Berlin: Imagine a City, chosen as a Book of the Year by the Washington Post.
