SUMMARY:'On Thin Ice': author event with Charlie Walker
DESCRIPTION:Parade’s End Books is excited to welcome Charlie Walker\, author of On Thin Ice: An Explorer’s Memoir of Siberia\, Surveillance and Survival. Charlie will talk about his book and his thrilling Siberian experiences\, and there will be a Q&A and a chance to get a signed copy. \nTickets are £5 – get yours here.  \nAbout the book: \nIn early 2022\, Charlie Walker set out to hike 600 miles along the frozen rivers of Siberia. He hoped to cut through the myth of the gulag and the permafrost to understand who its people are and how they reckon with their haunted past\, as well as what the future might hold for this remote corner of our world. But on 24 February\, Russia invaded Ukraine\, with devastating consequences. What had begun as an adventure swiftly descended into a paranoid nightmare\, as Walker began to suspect he was being monitored by the Russian authorities. Shortly afterwards he was arrested and imprisoned. \nOn Thin Ice juxtaposes the harsh beauty of a Siberian winter with a thriller-like series of events that exposes the dark heart of Putin’s propaganda machine. It is both the extraordinary record of one man’s walk through the most inhospitable place on earth and a powerful insight into a deeply troubled – and troubling – nation.
