Bruce Chatwin: The Man Behind the Myth
Ever heard of Bruce Chatwin, the enigmatic author whose book “In Patagonia” reignited travel writing? Nicholas Shakespeare’s biography, simply titled “Bruce Chatwin,” peels back the layers of this complex figure.
With exclusive access to Chatwin’s journals and letters, Shakespeare paints a portrait of a man driven by wanderlust yet burdened by contradictions. Chatwin, a successful art auctioneer, craved a nomadic life. Married for over two decades, he also had relationships with men.
Shakespeare’s balanced approach explores both the charm and the challenges Chatwin presented. This captivating biography is a must-read for those who admire Chatwin’s work or are simply fascinated by the lives of extraordinary travelers and writers.
