Welcome to the travel/literary podcast The Wandering Book Collector with host Michelle Jana Chan. This is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.

In this edition, I speak with the writer Kathryn D. Sullivan to discuss her book, Handprints on Hubble: An Astronaut’s Story of Invention, about deploying the revolutionary telescope, and about the people who made it work.
