The Autumn Equinox Season Salon promises to be very special. From the studio in Machynlleth, Mike will be joined live by Tharik Hussain, whose book Minarets in the Mountains: a journey into Muslim Europe (Bradt), was longlisted last week for the prestigious Baillie Gifford prize, the principal award for non-fiction. It’s a wise and wonderful book, detailing his journey around the Balkans and peeling back its layers of identity, and his too. He’ll also be joined – live from Massachusetts! – by Pamela Petro, who’ll be launching her wonderful new book, The Long Field, a lyrical exposition of the concept of hiraeth, that untranslatable sense of loss and longing. Pamela is known for her books Travels in an Old Tongue, when she toured the world in the Welsh language, and The Slow Breath of Stone, a loving meditation on the Romanesque.
