Lands of Lost Borders: A Journey on the Silk Road by Kate Harris
Lands of Lost Borders: A Journey on the Silk Road by Kate Harris

4.4/5

Kate Harris's debut travelogue Lands of Lost Borders is a richly layered account of a nearly yearlong bicycle journey along the ancient Silk Road, winner of the 2019 RBC Taylor Prize, and praised by travel writer Pico Iyer as "a modern classic." Published by Dey Street Books, it fuses adventure narrative, natural history, and meditation on borders — geographic, political, and personal — into a work that stands as one of the more ambitious debut memoirs of its era.
