Mountains:
Oblique
Angles
Hour of Writes’ first book, and contender for the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature.
A 360 degree emotional and literary response to the idea of mountains, every piece in this book was written in an hour or under on the Hour of Writes website. The result is a lilting, musical collection of writing from self-professed writers and non-writers, mountaineers and urbanites from across the globe.
