One of Roy's six favorite books, as shared at The Week magazine:

The Dawn Watch by Maya Jasanoff (2017).

In this biography of Joseph Conrad, scholarship, biography, history, literary analysis, and travel are woven into a narrative so gripping that it reads like a novel. I hadn't thought shipping routes could be so fascinating.
