And how about some inspiration from the C18? The story of an incredible man, wise and humane and before his time: The Traveller by the brilliant @andreawulf.bsky.social

Ah … thank you Gaia!!!

Bound proofs are in … published on 2 June … The Traveller.

15 June at Politics & Prose

Exactly …

Yes, published in late Sept/early October.

I hope so - in June.

Thank you!

Of course you will!!! And it will be revelatory for all of us.

It's a real thing... when the first proofs arrive, a manuscript turns into a book. „The Traveller" comes out on 2 June 2026.

Early bird events @hayfestival.bsky.social … I’ll be speaking about The Traveller on 30 May 2026

Last minute (panic) checking of a couple of manuscripts for THE TRAVELLER at the Goethe-Schiller-Archiv in Weimar. They have some of Forster's diaries here. Especially the one one for his hedonistic weeks in Vienna.

Thank you!

So excited to share the UK cover of my forthcoming book THE TRAVELLER ... which is about a quite remarkable human being. George Forster, a man who tried to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart - he saw unity behind our diversity, not discord and division.
