A Week in Literary History

June 14th, 2002

English novelist and travel writer Colin Thubron (Among the Russians, 1983) is born in London in 1939.

Thubron is the ideal travel writer: observant, sympathetic, and always seeking the larger meaning of the lands he explores. His clear and evocative prose never stands in the way of the landscape or the characters he finds awaiting him, and his novels, underrated, are models of quiet sensitivity.
