0 reviewsBruce Chatwin was, in his life as in his art, forever in search of the extraordinary, the exotic and the unexpected.
"One of its chief delights is that it contains so many of its author's best anecdotes, his choicest performances." - Salman Rushdie, Observer
In this collection of profiles, essays and travel stories, Chatwin writes of his father, of his friend Howard Hodgkin, and of his talks with Andre Malraux and Nadezhda Mandelstram. He takes us to Benin, where he is arrested as a mercenary during a coup; to Boston to meet an LSD guru who believes he is Christ; to India with Indira Ghandi when she attempted a political comeback in 1978; and to Nepal where he reminds us that "Man's real home is not a house, but the Road, and that life itself is a journey to be walked on foot."
"All the writing in this volume demonstrates Bruce Chatwin’s loathing of the humdrum, the dreary, the predictable. What attracted him was the unusual, the weird and wonderful… the journalist in him (strongly present) knew a good story when it heard one." - Margaret Forster, The Guardian
Bruce Chatwin Between 1972 and 1975 Chatwin worked for the Sunday Times, before announcing his next departure in a telegram: 'Gone to Patagonia for six months.' This trip inspired the first of Chatwin's books, In Patagonia, which won the Hawthornden Prize and the E.M. Forster Award and launched his writing career. On publication, The Songlines went straight to Number 1 in the Sunday Times bestseller list and remained in the top ten for nine months. On The Black Hill won the Whitbread First Novel Award while his novel Utz was nominated for the 1988 Booker Prize.
