skip to main skip to sidebar Earthquake Cove Wednesday, December 12, 2007 Reasons to love Bruce Chatwin I'm re-reading an anthology of Bruce Chatwin's travel writing. It's a beautiful meld of biography and fiction. I can never identify exactly what it is I like when I find a great writer, but I know it when I see it. Take this example from an account of a coup in Dahomey No. This was not my Africa. Not this rainy, rotten-fruit Africa. Not this Africa of blood and slaughter. The Africa I loved was the long undulating savannah country to the north .... For whenever I went back to that Africa, and saw a camel caravan, a view of white tents, or a single blue turban far off in the heat haze, I knew that, no matter what the Persians said, Paradise never was a garden but a waste of white thorns. He has a great style, and my admiration of him is fuelled by my own fascination with oddities and embellishments. I would love to be able to make a living out of writing. I'm not much good at carving wood, or fixing a computer, or organising a conference, but I know how to hammer out a few dozen words into something which resonates. Given the number of bad writers with bad ideas who still manage to make a living, surely I could compete... And Bruce Chatwin holds the beacon for me - not quite fiction, and not quite fact, but something shining which speaks a version of the truth.

REVIEWS OF BRUCE CHATWIN'S BOOKS: In Patagonia "He has written a book that deserves to stand on a small shelf containing the work of far better-known writers . . . Mr. Chatwin has an inquiring mind, and part of the pleasure lies in his digressions. . . . He has a gift for precise description . . ." The Viceroy of Ouidah "Surely the slave trade was as devilish a business in mass transportation as the human race had contrived up to our own century. . . . We should be able to endure reminders of its horrors. But should we relish them or leer at what is repellent to us? I distrust Mr. Chatwin's appetites for the disagreeable . . ." On the Black Hill "The step from such nonfiction to Bruce Chatwin's first novel is not so great as might be imagined. . . . In its imaginative reach, 'On the Black Hill' is very much a work of fiction. Nothing in Mr. Chatwin's previous work quite prepares us for the dramatic intensity with which scene after scene of the novel is brought to life." The Songlines "No writer has meant as much to my generation [as Chatwin] . . . 'The Songlines' is his bravest work yet . . . a seething gallimaufry of a book, a great Burtonian galimatias of anecdote and speculation and description, fascinating, moving, infuriating, incoherent, all at once."

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map Bruce Chatwin Profile Traveller, journalist and author. Charles Bruce Chatwin was born on 13 May 1940 at Dronfield, near Sheffield, Yorkshire. His parents lived in the West Midlands, but his mother had temporarily moved back to her family in Yorkshire while his father was serving in the Royal Navy. Bruce grew up West Heath, then a Warwickshire town but subsequently absorbed into Birmingham , where his father was a solicitor. After attending Marlborough College, Wiltshire, Bruce went to work for the auction house, Sotherby's, where he soon proved his talent for assessing fine art. In 1965 he was appointed director of the Impressionist Art Department but due to problems with his eyesight and an urge to travel he resigned his post the following year. He studied archaeology for two years at Edinburgh University but left to continue his travels, becoming a travel correspondent for the Sunday Times before completing his first published book, In Patagonia (1977), about his experiences in Argentina and Chile. This was very well received and won several awards including the Hawthornden Prize and the Somerset Maughan Award.

All that is obvious is that their structure and intentions place them in no known genre.

56. The Viceroy Of Ouidah (Bruce Chatwin) - Book Review From around West Africa the myriad descendants of Dom Francisco gather every year in Ouidah, Dahomey, to honour his memory http://dannyreviews.com/h/Viceroy_Ouidah.html

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest The Viceroy of Ouidah Bruce Chatwin Pan Books 1982 A book review by Danny Yee From around West Africa the myriad descendants of Dom Francisco gather every year in Ouidah, Dahomey, to honour his memory. This time their living link to the past, a centenarian daughter born at the end of Francisco's life, lies dying. Her life has been one of disappointments: the English lieutenant she loved abandoned her; a favourite nephew died of cholera; and the clergy refused to go along with her attempt to convert Dom Francisco's bedroom into a shrine. After this entree, The Viceroy of Ouidah follows the course of Francisco's life: a poor childhood in Brazil, friendship with a scion of a wealthy family, arrival in Ouidah in 1812 and years working as a slave trade factor, rise with a change of rulers to a lofty position as King's Viceroy at Ouidah, and old age and death in fallen state. It's an extraordinary rags-to-riches-to-rags tale. Made up of short, intense vignettes loosely strung together, rather than a steady narrative, The Viceroy of Ouidah nevertheless moves along effortlessly. It is emotionally restrained, maintaining an even tone for the comic and the tragic, for the macabre and the lyrical, but with such a dramatic and compelling story and setting, and such vivid descriptions, no playing with the heart-strings is necessary. Connecting two continents and spanning two centuries

Bruce Chatwin Bibliography A Collectors Reference Guide UK - US First Edition Books Find an Author A B C D ... XYZ More Information Bruce Chatwin, born 1940 and died 1989, was a prize winning travel writer and novelist. He is best known for his first book, In Patagonia, widely regarded as something of a modern classic and a cornerstone title, winner of the Hawthornden Prize and the EM Forster award. It is also the most valuable, by some way. Collectors need to be aware that it exists in two states. 1st issue has map illustrated endpapers whereas the second issue has plain white endpapers. The 2nd, is of course, somewhat less valuable. The other titles are quite accessible to most and not particularly difficult to acquire. Generally speaking the English editions precede and are more desirable than their American counterparts.
