21. Bruce Chatwin: Spike Looks At Bruce Chatwin's Travel Writing: Spikemagazine.com
    Nick Clapson on the enduring enigma of bruce chatwin's travel writing.  
    http://www.spikemagazine.com/0896chat.htm
    
    Extractions: Bruce Chatwin was a truly singular voice in British travel writing, and whose silence is now all too apparent. Since his untimely death in 1989 of what was described at the time as a rare Chinese disease (but which was later admitted to be AIDS), several collections of his previously unpublished work have appeared. The latest of these is Anatomy of Restlessness: Uncollected Writings. This book, however, pays poor service to his name. Published under the auspices of a "sourcebook" of uncollected work it draws together various pieces from magazines and journals. The result is a misshapen assemblage that hides gems amongst the weak and the substandard. Chatwin's writing at its best is both thrilling and absorbing, capable of carrying the reader to untravelled lands, and Chatwin was always the best of companions. However, if Chatwin the writer was intriguing, Chatwin the man was so much more. His rich life, pushed and pulled by his demanding interests, was always present in his work. That is not say that he was example of that breed of traveller who batters you into submission with endless anecdote heaped upon anecdote. Rather, he introduces you to the sights of exotic lands, vast parties of characters, all set free to live an existence untrammelled by the author's irrepressible ego.

25. LESELUST Bruce Chatwin - Traumpfade *** Reiseroman Australien - Lesen - Rezensio
    Rezension von Daniela Ecker in Leselust.  
    http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/chatwin_bruce_traumpfade.htm
    
    Extractions: Bruce Chatwin, geboren 1940 in Sheffield, arbeitete bei Sotheby´s und als Journalist bei der "Sunday Times". Ausgedehnte Reisen seit 1962 führten ihn nach Afghanistan, in die Sowjetunion, nach Osteuropa, Westafrika, Patagonien, Australien. Neben wunderbaren Reisebüchern hat Chatwin einige hochgelobte Romane und Essays geschrieben. Er starb 1989 in Nizza. Schon als kleiner Junge hatte er sich gefragt, was das wohl wäre, ein Walkabout, eine Songline - und nun, nachdem er so viele Länder dieser Erde bereist hatte, war Bruce Chatwin nach Australien gekommen, um sich mit den Aborigines zu treffen und von ihnen zu lernen, wie dieses uralte Prinzip der Traumpfade, die durch den ganzen Kontinent führen, funktioniert, welche Magie dahintersteckt. In Arkady, einem Australier russischer Abstammung, findet er dabei Unterstützung. Er hat es sich zum Lebensinhalt gemacht, die Rechte der Aborigines zu bewahren; und wenn das bedeutet, dass er von einer Eisenbahngesellschaft dafür bezahlt wird, zwischen den konträren Interessen zu vermitteln, dann profitieren beide Seiten davon. Die geplante Streckenführung soll nicht mit den heiligen Städten kollidieren; das Recht der Aborigines auf ihr Land, auf ihre Lebensweise soll wieder hergestellt werden.

28. Review | Bruce Chatwin
    Nicholas Shakespeare's biography of bruce chatwin reviewed by Jay Currie.  
    http://www.januarymagazine.com/nonfiction/chatwin.html
    
    Extractions: Bruce Chatwin By Nicholas Shakespeare Published by The Harvill Press 591 pages, 1999 ISBN: 1860465447 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.

30. The Richmond Review, Book Review, Bruce Chatwin By Nicholas Shakespeare
    Robert Whitehouse reviews Nicholas Shakespeare's bruce chatwin biography.  
    http://www.richmondreview.co.uk/books/brucecha.html
    
    Extractions: Among the mass of papers that Chatwin bequeathed to the Bodelian Library just before he died from AIDS in 1989, was a four inch porcelain Toby jug figure, wearing a Homburg hat and green coat and carrying a Gladstone bag. Along the base of the object in brown lettering were the words: I am starting for a long journey. The long journey that encompassed Chatwin's short life receives its first full exposition in this remarkable book. Not only has Shakespeare retraced the maze of Chatwin's globetrotting, he has succeeded in producing a coherent portrait of a man whose history was only available hitherto through his own inventions and embellishments (the efforts of Nicholas Murray and Susannah Clapp notwithstanding). And although this book is pitched as an authorised biography, Shakespeare refuses to pull any punches. If this book proves to be the definitive work on Chatwin (and it is difficult to see from where the competition may emerge), it will also be the book that disposes of much of the nonsense that crystallized into the posthumous Chatwin mystique. For example, the legend of Chatwin's decision to quit Sotheby's at the height of his powers is explained in What Am I Doing Here by a temporary blindness caused by looking too long and hard at works of art. Taking his doctor's advice to 'view some long horizons', Chatwin promptly disappears to the Sudan, discovers himself to be a natural nomad and never looks back. However, Shakespeare offers a more prosaic version of events. Chatwin, it turns out, had always experienced problems with his eyes and, in fact, with his health in general. In addition, he was a notorious hypochondriac who was always accompanied by a regiment of medicines whilst travelling. 'If he described to you a minor epileptic fit and a discharge from the nose,' his doctor relates, 'it took time to realise he was, in fact, only describing a sneeze.' More significantly, Chatwin's departure from Sotheby's coincided with his shock at not being appointed a full member of the Board. At the same time, he seems to have lost out financially in a lucrative but underhand deal involving the disposal of the Pitt-Rivers Collection of African art.

32. With Chatwin A Portrait Of Bruce Chatwin
    Jan Morris reviews Suzannah Clap's memoir of bruce chatwin.  
    http://www.litrev.dircon.co.uk/0197/morris.html
    
    Extractions: Jan Morris A Good Writer, Of Course, But a Tiresome Man With Chatwin: A Portrait of Bruce Chatwin By Suzannah Clap (Jonathan Cape 224pp £14.99) Somewhere in this well-balanced memoir Susannah Clapp says that Bruce Chatwin could be 'too much' for some people. As a person, he was decidedly too much for me. Snobbism, equally camp and genuine; showy connoisseurship of a quirky kind; the deadly energy of a raconteur; the insensitivity of the tuft-hunter; a gift for mimicry; sexual ambiguity of the Strength Through Joy kind (I can see him now, riding his bicycle blond and bare-backed through Powys, for all the world like a Hitler Youth) - all these characteristics, distilled into one very clever, exuberant and apparently ageless being, made all too rich a mixture for anunsophisticated provincial. But in arte veritas , and it is the strength of this mercifully unostentatious book that Chatwin the writer easily outplays Chatwin the man. Some of his own books turn me off, as he tended to turn me off, but some seem to me to be timeless works of art, in which a fastidious sense of life's limitless fascination makes one forget all the fluff and foolishness. The Viceroy of Ouidah, On the Black Hill, Utz - these three works in particular, in my opinion, will enter the classic canon. 'Fluff and foolishness!' Some of Chatwin's closest friends - and he had heaps of them - will say that this is an impertinent misjudgement of his personality, and perhaps it is. He was the sort of man who invites devotion and resentment, and it was no surprise when, having achieved fulsome fame as a mystery man of literature, he was cruelly maligned after his death. But the more I read Clapp, the more I felt confirmed in my responses. Even his attitude to food, as anecdotally reported here, makes me squirm a bit. 'Que preciosa,' he would apparently exclaim 'before settling down toa nything particularly delicious', and he was once 'excitedly reported to be walking across Eaton Square eating a white truffle'. 'Just after we hadf inished eating, Bruce exclaimed with a sudden recoil: "How dreadful. I've just realised. That was a totally white meal.'"

    Extractions: John Updike said of Bruce Chatwin 's writing in On the Black Hill : "His studied stylewith something in it of Hemingway's chiselled bleakness, and something of Lawrence's inspired swiftnesstouches on the epic." Born in England, Chatwin traveled widely in Asia, the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, and Australia. His books include: On the Black Hill received the 1982 Whitbread Award. Chatwin also received the E.M. Forster Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Hawthornden Prize of the Society of Authors in Great Britain. Search Order Comments ... Main Page

36. Le Recensioni Di BLOOM! - Nicola Gaiarin - Bruce Chatwin
    Strategie di un viaggiatore, ovvero imparare a pensare per frammenti, recensione di Nicola Gaiarin.  
    http://www.bloom.it/rec_gaiarin1.htm
    
    Extractions: Esplorare la complessità significa anche imparare a pensare per frammenti e connessioni tra parti distanti della realtà. Bruce Chatwin , viaggiatore, collezionista di idee luoghi e storie, affabulatore , truffatore e straordinario imprenditore di se stesso è stato in primo luogo un appassionato esploratore dei nessi invisibili e – a volte – immaginari che tengono assieme le tessere dell’esperienza. Dietro il mito e l’immagine, dietro il velo delle storie romantiche e spesso inverosimili con le quali Chatwin era solito condire ogni incontro un po’ fuori del comune, si trova però un core , un centro di attrazione, qualcosa di cui non si riesce a fare a meno: l’esperienza e l’ affabulazione , vale a dire la vita e la capacità di raccontarla e condividerla con gli altri. Imbattendosi in Chatwin non ci si trova di fronte ad un "grande" autore, ma a un individuo capace di creare una rete di narrazioni – precise, dettagliate e assieme evanescenti e ossessive – che sono innanzitutto disperati tentativi di lanciare un ponte verso le altre persone. Forse Chatwin non è un grande scrittore, ma è stato senza dubbio un raffinato stratega della complessità

    Extractions: A B C ... Z Bruce Chatwin was born in Sheffield, England in 1942. After attending Marlborough School, he began work as a porter at Sotheby's. Eight years later, by then one of Sotheby's youngest directors, he abandoned his job to pursue his passion for world travel. From 1972 to 1975 he worked for the Sunday Times , then announced his next departure in a telegram: "Gone to Patagonia for six months." This trip inspired the first of his books, In Patagonia, which launched his writing career. Two of his books have been made into feature films: The Viceroy of Ouidah and On the Black Hill. The Globe Corner Bookstores had the pleasure of his company in the fall of 1987, as The Songlines was becoming a national bestseller. Bruce Chatwin died in January 1989. "I quit my job in the 'art world' and went back to the dry places: alone, travelling light. The names of the tribes I travelled among are unimportant: Rguibat, Quashagai, Taimanni, Turkomen, Bororo, Tuareg - people whose journeys, unlike my own, had neither beginning nor end." - The Songlines Anatomy of Restlessness: Selected Writings 1969-1989 In Patagonia On the Black Hill The Songlines ...
