About this title

Synopsis

An impressionistic study of Bruce Chatwin's life and work by one of his friends. It is not a biography, but a collection of Clapp's own memories of Chatwin and those of his friends and colleagues. Both a solitary and a socialite, he has been described as the person who reinvented travel-writing.
