Thinking Again by Jan Morris

Jan Morris was a phenomenal writer who defied classification. Some people tried to pin her down as a travel writer, historian or journalist but her writing was never confined by genre. Perhaps fittingly Jan Morris died on Transgender Day of Remembrance, as she was a pioneer when she came out publicly in the seventies, refusing to be confined by societies narrow concept of gender, in the same way her writing wasn’t easily confined by genre. Contemplative but playful and funny ‘Thinking Again’ is a brilliant final farewell.

Thinking Again by Jan Morris
Hardback RRP £16.99

Following the publication In My Mind's Eye, her acclaimed first volume of diaries, a Radio 4 Book of the Week in 2018, Jan Morris continued to write her daily musings. From her home in the North West of Wales, the author of classics such as Venice and Trieste cast her eye over modern life in all its stupidity and glory.

From her daily thousand paces to the ongoing troubles of Brexit, from her enduring love for America to the wonders of the natural world, and from the vagaries and ailments of old age to the beauty of youth, she once again displays her determined belief in embracing life and creativity - all kindness and marmalade.
