Although he is best known for his luminous reports from the
farthest-flung corners of the earth, Bruce Chatwin possessed a
literary sensibility that reached beyond the travel narrative to
span a world of topics--from art and antiques to archaeology and
architecture. This spirited collection of previously neglected or
unpublished essays, articles, short stories, travel sketches, and
criticism represents every aspect and period of Chatwin's career as
it reveals an abiding theme in his work: his fascination with, and
hunger for, the peripatetic existence. While Chatwin's poignant
search for a suitable place to "hang his hat," his compelling
arguments for the nomadic "alternative," his revealing fictional
accounts of exile and the exotic, and his wickedly "en pointe"
social history of Capri prove him to be an excellent observer of
social and cultural mores, Chatwin's own restlessness, his yearning
to be on the move, glimmers beneath every surface of this dazzling
body of work.
