Description
Jan Morris: Life from Both Sides is a biography that brings together the many strands of her rich and at times paradoxical life. Based on a wealth of interviews, archival material, and hitherto unpublished documents, this is the first full account of a truly remarkable life.
Born in 1926, Jan Morris went on to lead an extraordinary life as a foreign correspondent, journalist, and writer. Her reportage spanned many of the twentieth century's defining moments, from covering the trial of Adolf Eichmann to being part of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.
Yet public success masked a private dilemma that was only resolved when she transitioned genders in the 1960s. This biography portrays a person of extraordinary talent, curiosity, and joie de vivre, offering a nuanced understanding of Morris's life from both sides.
