Condition: Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 554 pages. This compilation of correspondence is aptly titled. British travel writer and novelist Chatwin traveled widely, constantly, and obsessively?everywhere under the sun, in other words. He possessed a restless soul, to be sure. And to a large degree, he w…as secretive; information about his homosexuality and his affliction with the AIDS virus was closely guarded. He cast a personal spell with his charm and a lasting one through his works, which are so imaginative they are pure excitement to read; at the same time, however, it can be confusing to determine whether to see them as fiction or nonfiction. Nevertheless, beginning with his first published book, In Patagonia (1977), Chatwin maintained a reputation among discerning readers for his riveting characters?invented or not is unimportant, even in his travel books?and his rigorously precise writing style. Chatwin?s wife and his biographer (Bruce Chatwin, 2000) combined efforts over a two-decade period to retrieve more than 90 percent of Chatwin?s correspondence from childhood to immediately before his untimely death at 48. Chatwin?s many appreciators will see the compilation in its overall significance as a personal visit with one of their literary heroes, as much as that is possible now.
