In Patagonia by Bruce Chatwin

3.0

---

This book is considered a classic in travel literature. When it was published in the U.S. it became an instant bestseller. The style is interesting, with the stories a mixture of myth, historical pieces, and Chatwin’s impressions of people he meets and the landscapes of the Patagonian region. I think this book is more about Bruce Chatwin than anything else, but it did provide some jumping off places for further reading. I’d like to explore more current non-fiction and fiction by Chilean and Argentinian authors.
