Outriders

In the summer of 2017, Malachy was one of ​five Scottish writers chosen by Edinburgh International Book Festival to undertake journeys across the Americas.
He travelled through the United States for three weeks, beginning in North Dakota, through Appalachia, and ending in Louisiana. For most of this time he was accompanied by the novelist Jennifer Haigh. The diary posts below were written during this journey.

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a truly extraordinary place. Prairie dogs, bison, wild horses, and some of the most astonishing landscapes I have seen anywhere in the world. The video below gives an indication of just how enormous the park is, and how incredible the scenery. Turn down the volume though; it was windy up there.
