Jan Morris, Traveler, Author, Enigma: A Conversation With Biographer Sara Wheeler
Jan Morris was one of the best known travel writers since World War 2, yet despite her fame she is an engima. The reason is simple. At the height of her success in the early 1970s she transitioned from male to female. The reasons for her going through what was still a fairly primitive risky procedure were clear to her but not to the world at large and other than one book of memoir Morris rarely spoke about it again. Sara Wheeler is herself a successful travel writer and biographer and in this FRDH podcast she speaks with host Michael Goldfarb about her authorized biography of Morris and the complicated and stupendously productive life she led. Give us 54 minutes to tell you all about it.
