Wild Coast: Travels on South America’s Untamed Edge. The Gardens of Mars: Madagascar, An Island Story. These are the books we mentioned in the podcast: You can read more about John Gimlette on his website: Īnd follow him on Facebook and Twitter. We spoke about Madagascar, ‘walking the dead’, and writing about places on the margin of the map. His latest book - The Gardens of Mars - is outstanding, and one of my top reads for 2021. He also has a talent for meeting the most interesting characters, from bandits to bums, drunks and witch doctors. If you’re like me, its those names that catch your eye on a map rather than the more famous places everyone else seems to go. John writes about overlooked places, like the three tiny countries at the top of South America. 
He’s a regular contributor to The Times (London), The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent, and Condé Nast Traveller. And he’s won the Shiva Naipaul Memorial Prize and the Wanderlust Travel Writing Award. John Gimlette is the author of five books, including Wild Coast and At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pig.
