Adam Weymouth’s Kings of the Yukon, which won him the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award for 2018, is now out in paperback — which reminds me that I’ve recently come across an excellent interview with the author conducted by Georgina Godwin for Monocle magazine earlier this year. In it he talks about his environmental activism, his long walks across Scotland and Europe, and what prompted him to paddle the 2,000-mile length of the Yukon River.
