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 most lyrical of writers Maaza Mengiste discussing her latest book The Shadow King, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, as well as looking back to her debut Beneath the Lion’s Gaze. Please consider supporting your local bookshop. And learn more about Maaza’s Project3541, focusing on the 1935-41 Italian-Ethiopian War, bringing together written, visual, and oral histories.
