Robert Macfarlane and Raja Shehadeh, 3rd of March
Celebrated Palestinian writer Raja Shehadeh joins Robert Macfarlane to talk about Raja’s latest book A Rift in Time: Travels with my Ottoman Uncle and about their shared passion for walking. Raja Shehadah is the author of Strangers in the House and the award-winning Palestinian Walks. A Rift in Time is a family memoir, but it is also a reflection on how Palestine, in particular the disputed Jordan Rift Valley, has been transformed. Raja Shehadeh is a remarkable and dignified chronicler of the changing fortunes of Palestine. Robert Macfarlane’s Mountains of the Mind won the 2003 Guardian First Book Award. He is a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge and the author, most recently, of The Wild Places.
