Rory MacLean

Rory MacLean is one of Britain's most expressive and adventurous travel writers.  His nine books, including UK best-sellers 'Stalin's Nose' and 'Under the Dragon', have challenged and invigorated the genre, and – according to the late John Fowles – are among works that 'marvellously explain why literature still lives'.  

He has won awards from the Canada Council and the Arts Council of England as well as a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship, and was nominated for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary prize.  He has written and presented over 50 BBC radio programmes and worked on movies with Marlene Dietrich and David Bowie.  

A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, Rory divides his time between London, Dorset and – while he writes a history of the city – Berlin.
