Following a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Orhan Pamuk, Mo Yan and Olga Tokarczuk, he explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world, and the ways the world bleeds into literature. An illuminating voyage around the globe, told through eighty classic and modern books.
