Lesley Downer on poetry in Japan’s deep north 1:19:17

7h ago1:19:17

1:19:17

Lesley Downer's fascination with Japan's most famous poet took her from Tokyo's drab industrial concrete into what was then a seldom-visited part of Honshu. It was a place of sake-drenched poetry sessions in thatched-roof highland villages, and holy mountains where modern ascetics continued to roam between their past and future lives in search of a…

1:12:02

Thomas Swick moved to Warsaw at the height of the Cold War.

Ian Fleming with biographer Nicholas Shakespeare 1:27:08

3M ago1:27:08

1:27:08

Ian Fleming was overshadowed by the fictional character he created in the final decade of his life, but his own story is far more interesting.

Kapka Kassabova writes about marginal places and the interdependence of humans and animals in traditional societies.

Eric Cline: Why civilization ended in 1177 B.C. 1:26:15

5M ago1:26:15

1:26:15

The Late Bronze Age Mediterranean was a surprisingly interconnected place. Trade flourished, interrupted by the odd embargo, and military conflicts used disinformation for strategic gain.

Paul Theroux on Orwell and Burma Sahib 1:31:48

5M ago1:31:48

1:31:48

Long before he wrote 1984 — and long before he was even George Orwell — Eric Blair was a nineteen year old policeman in Burma. Biographies skirt over this five year period, but it was the making of the writer he would become. Today’s guest set out to imagine those years in a wonderful new novel called Burma Sahib. I've read all of Paul Theroux's bo…

Jonathan Raban: one of our greatest writers on place 55:23

6M ago55:23

55:23

Jonathan Raban wrote about human landscapes rather than uninhabited ones, and the borderlands between what a place professes to be and what they are. An Englishman who emigrated to Seattle at the age of 47, his status as an outsider gave him a unique perspective on America as the land of perpetual self-reinvention. Many of his books involved water …

James Salter: with biographer Jeffrey Meyers 1:08:19

1:08:19

James Salter is the best American writer you’ve probably never read. He was a fighter pilot in the Korean War, and a successful screenwriter. His sentences are fractured jewels. The details are closely observed, the imagery poetic. Every page contains an observation I want to write down. Biographer Jeffrey Meyers joined me to talk about Salter’s re…

The Wakhan Corridor with Bill Colegrave 49:20

7M ago49:20

49:20

I first got interested in the Wakhan Corridor when I read The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk. This weird bit of political geography once formed a buffer between Tsarist Russia and Imperial Britain. It’s been closed to traffic for more than a century, and it remains one of the world’s least-visited corners. Bill Colegrave joined me to talk about the Wa…

I’ve often thought of it as one of the world’s most misunderstood countries. Not because it’s uniquely inscrutable but because it’s so beset by stereotypes. The truth is more complicated and far more interesting. Alex Kerr is the author of Lost Japan, Dogs and Demons: The Fall of Modern Japan, and Hidden Japan. He joined me to talk about embodied p…
