About the Author:
Rory MacLean is a writer, broadcaster, blogger, and fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. His eight books, including UK bestsellers Stalin's Nose and Under the Dragon, have challenged and invigorated travel writing and, according to the late John Fowles, are among works that “marvellously explain why literature still lives.” He has won awards from the Canada Council and the Arts Council of England as well as a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship, and was nominated for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary prize. He has written and presented over 50 BBC radio programs and worked on movies with Marlene Dietrich and David Bowie. Born in Canada and resident for many years in Britain, Rory now divides his time between London and Berlin.
Review:
