Festival of Asian Literature, London May 10th-26th

   The open night kicks off with: A Tibetan Journey - Colin Thubron – To a Mountain in Tibet in conversation with Erica Wagner from The Times.

   'Acclaimed as one of the greatest living travel writers, Thubron follows the pilgrimage route through Tibet to Mount Kailas, the most sacred of the world’s mountains. He talks with villagers and monks and tells the stories of exiles and of eccentric explorers from the West.   A haunting and beautiful travel book, it is also a very personal journey, undertaken shortly after the death of his mother, and interwoven with his own reflections on love, grief and solitude.'

Tickets £ 15 /£12
Asia House Friends £ 10
