Dom Joly: A Short Walk Across the Lebanon
Saturday, February 1, 2020 - 16:00 to 16:45
Destinations London 2020 Schedule - Stanfords Travel Writers Festival - Stanfords Travel Writers Festival
Introduction
Dom Joly talks to Julia Wheeler about his book The Hezbollah Hiking Club, in which he writes about hiking across Lebanon, from the Israeli border in the south, along the spine of the country’s mountain range, all the way to the Syrian border in the north. It is a big-hearted, witty and affectionate love letter to Lebanon and its rich history with a meditation on family and homeland at its heart. With Dom’s trademark humour, it is a paean to both the simple joys of friendship and to growing old disgracefully.
