The Lost Pianos of Siberia with Sophy Roberts

Travel Writing World

Sophy Roberts and Siberia by Michael Turek Joining me today is Sophy Roberts, whose most recent book The Lost Pianos of Siberia was nominated for the Stanford Doleman Travel Book of the Year 2021. We recorded this episode back in March, before the award announcement (sorry for the massive delay, Sophy!), but the conversation is still fresh. We talk about “success narratives” in travel literature, chronology in travel books, and much more. Sophy's website. The Lost Pianos of Siberia online. Sophy's Instagram.
