Welcome to the travel/literary podcast The Wandering Book Collector with host Michelle Jana Chan. This is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.
In this edition, I speak with the dauntless journalist and writer Carla Power discussing her latest book Home, Land, Security: Deradicalization and the Journey Back from Extremism. I also look back to her debut If the Oceans Were Ink: An Unlikely Friendship and a Journey to the Heart of the Quran, a National Book Award and Pulitzer Finalist. Consider supporting your local bookshop.
