Remembering Bruce Chatwin

Meridian

Available for over a year

"A cross between an eager schoolboy and a spellbinding shaman" – the late Bruce Chatwin, English novelist and travel writer, left behind six books when he died in 1989, beginning with In Patagonia, and they are now cult classics. Here, on what would have been his 59th birthday, he is remembered by three people who have written books about him: Nicholas Murray, Susannah Clapp and Nicholas Shakespeare.
