Washington, DC’s Politics & Prose bookstore has launched a literary travel tour program, working with DC-based Academic Travel Abroad (which works with the Smithsonian, National Geographic, and various alumni associations, among others). “Part tour, part roving literary symposium, each trip will be led by an expert in the field,” including store head buyer Mark LaFramboise on a literary tour of France, and will include reading lists and “book discussions along the way.” See Politicsandprosetravel.com/ for details.
