Description
Bruce Chatwin's life was marked by contradictions - he was both a socialite and a loner, a collector of art and an explorer of solitude. His reputation as a storyteller grew rapidly after his death in 1989, and his writing continues to inspire readers worldwide. Nicholas Shakespeare had unrestricted access to Chatwin's private notebooks, diaries, and letters, gathering evidence from those who knew him best - friends, family, hosts, enemies, and lovers. This unique insight into Chatwin's life has resulted in a biography that sheds light on the complexities of this charismatic and elusive literary figure. Through five continents and numerous sources, Shakespeare presents a nuanced portrait of Bruce Chatwin, one of the most brilliant minds of his generation.
