Michael Jenner

Off Course Michael Jenner

The writer explores the Mediterranean island of Corsica but his is no ordinary journey. Michael Jenner travels in the mind as well as on the map. Meeting a mixed bunch of characters along the way, he has several encounters with that famous Corsican, Napoleon Bonaparte. But his finest hour comes during a short walk with fellow Bloomsbury resident Virginia Woolf, to a lighthouse naturally. He has much to say on the phenomenon of travel: why we do it and why some of us simply can't stop writing about it.
