Bruce Chatwin

Bruce Chatwin is rubbish.

Really.

He's making it up, right? Every other page has himself as a character, being far more impressive to women and ethnic minorities than his own dialogue lets on.

I look at the pull quotes on the back. Unbelievable.

Read his biog. The quotes are all from people he knew when he was a journalist. One's even from a journalist he co-authored his previous book with.

The biog says he died young. "Good," I think, before I know it.

I've decided I would hate to write a travelogue.
