A book we'd like to recommend
A travelogue to a largely unexplored area of South America, this is a deeply personal and intense journey.
For five months John Harrison travels through the secret country of the Incas, walking alone into remote villages where he is the first gringo the inhabitants have ever seen, and where life continues as if Columbus had never sailed.
Cloud Road combines meticulously researched details of history and anthropology with a pithy and engaging writing style.

In October, Rhosygilwen Mansion in Pembrokeshire will host a Writers' Retreat, hosted by Brenda Squires, author of Landsker, and Glen Peters, author of Parthian's bestselling title Mrs D'Silva's Detective Instincts and the Shaitan of Calcutta.
Dr Richard Lewis Davies, playwright, novelist, and director of Parthian and the Library of Wales series, will provide one-to-one facilitation sessions for those attending.
The Retreat is designed for writers who are working on a current project and require the space and time to finish off their work. This is not a workshop, more a place to work in the company of others who share the same desire to complete their project. The days will be devoted to working, whilst the evenings are for conversations, sharing experiences and thoughts with others.
For more information, see the event page.

Holy Hiatus, published by Parthian in September 2010, will be launched at a symposium entitled 'Holy Hiatus: performing ritual, community and place' at the Small World Theatre in Cardigan on 25-26 September.
A two-day interdisciplinary symposium organised in conjunction with PlaCe Research Centre, The University of West England, this event will explore the vital role that ritual plays in creatively re-imagining places and our relationships to them.
It features illustrated talks, performative lectures and workshops led by specialists in the creative arts, humanities and social sciences. Leading up to the symposium, on Friday 24th September 3.30 - 9 pm, a movement and sound workshop will take place at Small World Theatre led by Maura Hazelden and Lou Laurens.
