Welsh writer Jan Morris was once the most famous journalist in the world: she joined the 1953 Everest expedition and was first to get news of Hilary and Tensing’s successful climb back to London. Morris’ glittering career included interviewing Che Guevara and scooping the story of the Suez collusion. When she transitioned in the early 1970s, she documented the experience in her book Conundrum. Writer and broadcaster Sara Wheeler discusses her biography of Morris with author Oliver Bullough.
