Description: NOTE: CREASE ON SPINE DUE TO AGE. INSIDE CONDITION IS GOOD./ Bruce Chatwin carved out a literary career as unique as any writer's in this century: his books included In Patagonia, a fabulist travel narrative, The Viceroy of Ouidah, a mock-historical tale of a Brazilian slave-trader in 19th century Africa, and The Songlines, his beautiful, elegiac account of following the invisible pathways traced by the Australian aborigines.
