21. Salon Travel | "Bruce Chatwin: A Biography"
    A superb portrayal of the restless and randy travel writer brings us as close to his hidden heart as we re likely to get.  
    http://archive.salon.com/travel/feature/2000/03/01/chatwin/index.html
    
    Extractions: By Jonathan Miles March 1, 2000 H ow infinitely appropriate that Bruce Chatwin's first bona fide biographer be an amateur. I mean no disparagement by the term, which I use admiringly, even affectionately, evoking as it does that great tradition of free-range scholarship and catholic intellectualism of which Montaigne and Francis Bacon are just two kindred exemplars. For Chatwin himself fell into that camp; indeed, for the 20th century, one might say he defined it. In his small but superlative oeuvre, Chatwin (1940-89) fused fact, fiction, poetry, science and more than a little hoodoo, sometimes recklessly but always artfully, and always, at heart, as part of an impossibly ambitious attempt to explain the roots of human restlessness.

22. The Lyman Family By Bruce Chatwin
    A story by bruce chatwin.  
    http://www.trussel.com/lyman/chatwin.htm
    
    Extractions: "The word 'story' is intended to alert the reader to the fact that, however closely the narrative may fit the facts, the fictional process has been at work." Introduction to "What Am I Doing Here" NOTE: Although Chatwin warns us in his introduction that the fictional process has been at work in this "story," his warning is probably not strong enough. For whatever his reasons, Chatwin, apparently well-known as a travel writer, has created a story which contains many clear inaccuracies, does not match most published descriptions of life on Fort Hill, and which seems to intentionally cast Mel Lyman and the members of the community in the worst possible light. I have a friend called Jack who has been writing articles on the alternative society for the Boston Globe . Mel Lyman, who is, I believe, a scion of Old Boston, spent time in California as a guitarist. He has returned to his native city where, in the thrall of lysergic acid, he has persuaded himself and the 'Family' that he is Christ.

23. Review | Bruce Chatwin
    Nicholas Shakespeare s biography of bruce chatwin reviewed by Jay Currie.  
    http://januarymagazine.com/nonfiction/chatwin.html
    
    Extractions: Bruce Chatwin By Nicholas Shakespeare Published by The Harvill Press 591 pages, 1999 Buy it online The Golden Dilettante Reviewed by Jay Currie Dilettantes have a bad reputation. The idea that there is value in knowing a little about a lot has fallen on hard times. Instead of general knowledge, people are increasingly committed to niches and expertise. For those of us who dislike specialization, Bruce Chatwin was a beacon. Chatwin stands in a long line of eccentrics ranging from Richard Burton and Gertrude Bell on through T.E. Lawrence. Our current crop includes Redmond O'Hanlon, Robert Hughes and, in a very odd way, Gore Vidal. People who combine exploration, scholarship, intelligence and a sense of just how powerful prose can be. Chatwin , Nicholas Shakespeare's wonderfully written new biography, describes a life which had no limits at all. The son of a Birmingham solicitor, Chatwin barely managed to finish at a British private school. He got a job as a "porter" at Sotheby's. That was 1958 and the great boom in Impressionists and antiquities was just about to begin. Chatwin quickly became Sotheby's Impressionist expert and began to hone his prose writing catalog descriptions of the most unlikely objects . Chatwin etched the bones of his writing style describing the loot of Empire.

    Extractions: 'I have a vision of the Songlines stretching across the continents and ages; that wherever men have trodden they have left a trail of song; and that these trails must reach back, in time and space, to an isolated pocket in the African savannah, where the First Man shouted the opening stanza to the World Song, "I am!"' Quotes: "The Songlines emerge as invisible pathways connecting all over Australia: ancient tracks made of songs which tell of the creation of the land. The Aboriginals' religious duty is ritually to travel the land, singing the Ancestors' songs: singing the world into being afresh. The Songlines is one man's impassioned song" - Sunday Telegraph "He is such a fine and original writer. A white nomad himself, Chatwin's affinity with the footloose tribes of the endless outback yields one of the most affecionate portraits yet of a race ravaged by the alcohol that so many other Australians privately hope will become a self-administered final solution" -

    Extractions: About Us 295 pages, paperback, Penguin, 1988, $13.95 The Songlines is a beautiful meditation on the importance of travel to knowledge and culture. The focus of the book is on the culture of the native Australians, and the essential relationship of ecology to culture. "[Chatwin's] bravest work yet. . . . No one will put it down unmoved." The New York Times Book Review "A mysterious and exhilarating work." — New York magazine National Bestseller "Darwin quotes the example of Audubon's goose, which, deprived of its pinion feathers, started out to walk the journey on foot. He then goes on to describe the sufferings of a bird, penned up at the season of its migration, which would flail its wings and bloody its breast against the bars of its cage." "There were fifteen passengers crammed into the back of a canvas-hooded pick-up. All of them were Moors except for myself and a person covered in a sack. The sack moved, and the drawn and beautiful head of a young Wolof peered out. His skin and hair were coated with white dust, like the bloom on purple grapes. He was frightened and very upset.

    http://www.glbtq.com/literature/chatwin_b.html
    
    Extractions: page: British novelist, journalist, and essayist Bruce Chatwin, who blurred the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction in his writing, is perhaps best known for In Patagonia (1977), his first book, which instantly established him as one of his generation's foremost travel writers, as well as the spare, elegantly crafted novel Utz Chatwin was remarkably well-liked and admired by critics and colleagues alike. "Nearly every writer of my generation in England has wanted, at some point, to be Bruce Chatwin," the renowned scholar Andrew Harvey once wrote, "wanted to be talked about, as he [was], with raucous envy; wanted, above all, to have written his books." Sponsor Message. In a 1988 article for Publishers Weekly , Chatwin was described as having "the preppie good looks of Robert Redford and the luminous blue eyes of a possum." A secretive bisexual, Chatwin had numerous sexual liaisons with both men and women while married to the same woman for 23 years. One of his lovers, Miranda Rothschild, described him as "out to seduce everyone, it doesn't matter if you are male, female, an ocelot, or a tea-cosy." Another lover, the fashion designer Jasper Conran, said, "Probably there was no one Bruce loved more than himself."

    Extractions: Rolf's new book! Home Vagabonding At Crabwalk yesterday, Josh Benton had an interesting entry about travel-writer/novelist Bruce Chatwin. "Chatwin occasionally made things up," Benton writes. "Parts of his books were fabricated. At times he tried the old dodge that a certain amount of fabrication was, well, expected by readers . Some of his books he labeled fiction in hidden places, but the fact they were all about this fellow named Bruce who was talking to real people in real places made it clear he had no intention of tearing down the fourth wall. "Chatwin was writing books, not works of journalism. For better or worse, people have grown more used to fibbing in books than in newspapers and magazines. (Does anyone really think David Sedaris' stories are all literally true? Come on.) But the basic lie of it all remains people like Chatwin and Ryszard Kapuscinski told falsehoods much larger than anything Jayson Blair did . And they're globally acclaimed. (It also helps that they had roughly 1,000 times the talent Blair did.)

    Extractions: "Cities are invisible," Italo Calvino has written, meaning that they exist within the mind. Each traveler will encounter a new place according to their own ideas, will find different aspects salient, will remember different things after returning home. So for Bruce Chatwin; his Patagonia isn't so much a place as a tapestry of common inhabitants and daring mythmakers who have lived in this southernmost region of South America. In Chatwin's hands Patagonia comes to possess a rich, deep, deep cultural history consisting largely of madmen, dreamers, and everyday eccentrics. In Patagonia Once told, stories are often come back to. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, for instance, are revisited a number of times as Chatwin receives differing accountsfirst they die in a shootout in Bolivia, then they live quietly in the U.S. after propagandizing that they were killed, then they're a couple of outlaws in the Chilean Andes. The stories often mix together as well with the cumulative effect that it would take some work to sort out the network of associations and references that spans this rather short book. These stories give In Patagonia a surprising range, allowing Chatwin to quickly change keys from mythic to realistic to allegorical to comic to tragic. While discussing the Sect of the Brujeria, for instance, Chatwin's prose takes a Borgesian turn:
