The Trans-Siberian Express: Turning Fact into Fantasy with Sarah Brooks
Sarah Brooks discusses how the history of the real Trans-Siberian Express – and the experience of travelling from Beijing to Moscow at a time of rapid change for both Russia and China – inspired her novel The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands, which is set on a fantastical version of this famous train. Sarah Brooks lives in Leeds and works in East Asian Studies at the University of Leeds. She won the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize in 2019, and a Northern Writers Debut Award in 2021. The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands, is Sarah’s first novel and was a Sunday Times Bestseller. Part of New Writing North’s Northern Bookshelf Live programme.
