'The Endless Country', says @AChristieMiller in the @Lit_Review, is 'an insightful, moving and beautifully crafted portrait of a nation...' literaryreview.co.uk/off-with-his-f…
And one for me: open.spotify.com/episode/1UzoTS… I talk to Anna-Joy Rickard about The Endless Country, my book on the history of Turkey, for the latest episode of the Great British Foreign Affairs Podcast
Overtourism: Chris Haslam (@dromomaniac), in The Sunday Times, considers what governments & travel trade should be doing (tinyurl.com/mu528jcx); Paige McClanahan, in her new book, asks what tourists can do (see @zoesqwilliams’s piece for The Guardian —tinyurl.com/48xmsz4p).
Hugely enjoyed ‘Airplane Mode’, a collection of essays on travel and tourism by Shahnaz Habib — @mixedmsgs (@septemberbooks). Fresh, thought-provoking and funny. Read an extract on the publisher’s site: septemberpublishing.org/product/airpla….

Lost count of the emails I’ve had lately from entrepreneurs (?) in China. I set up my website as a vehicle for virtual travel, but they see it as a different kind of portal altogether…
Thoroughly recommend ‘Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country’. See deskboundtraveller.com/whats-nearly-n….
a new Louise Erdrich novel is on the way! We're lucky enough to publish her enchanting, evocative 'Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country' - non-fic, it weaves together memoir, history, mythology and nature: dauntbookspublishing.co.uk/book/books-and…
Reminded, by events over the past week, of a passage in a book I reviewed in 2018: 'Beneath Another Sky' by the historian Norman Davies. See also theguardian.com/us-news/2017/n…
Coming soon: new books from @PetrocTrelawny (@wnbooks), @IrishRainforest (@HachetteIre) and @herdyshepherd1(@AllenLaneBooks). See deskboundtraveller.com/to-cornwall-ir….
Anne Enright on Edna O’Brien: She never left Ireland, yet couldn’t live here either It has to be firmly said how much she was admired, feted and adored, how clear was the light she shone for the writers who followed her irishtimes.com/culture/books/…
The word of the summer is "tourism-phobia". Record visitor numbers are provoking protests across Spain. But tourism is the lifeblood of many places. Can discontent be quelled without doing serious economic harm? by me @FT ft.com/content/de15a5…
Excellent @NewYorker piece on Norman Maclean by Kathryn Schulz -- though she's very dismissive of Rebecca McCarthy's fine new biography: newyorker.com/magazine/2024/….

#Kapkakassabova joined me on #PersonalLandscapes #podcast to talk about 'Anima: A Wild Pastoral', the interdependence of humans and animals, and what it’s like to live as a shepherd in a vertical world. Listen on iTunes, Spotify etc @vintagebooks @JonathanCape
It's July & my @thebookseller Book of the Month is this entertaining & bracingly topical travelogue through an enormously diverse country we routinely over-simplify @SimonWIParker @septemberbooks
Fascinating 'Start the Week' today on @BBCRadio4 on weaving magic in words, clay and paper. Contributors included Kathleen Jamie, talking about her new book, 'Cairn' (@SortofBooks), a miniature marvel of poetry and prose. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
