A review by timgreenard
Utz by Bruce Chatwin
funny
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
More like a novella, Utz is the only novel by Bruce Chatwin, a travel writer and journalist. It was loosely based on his encounter with a real ceramics collector, and the style brilliantly conveys an individual's brief encounter with the odd Utz and his subsequent investigation into the truth about his life and his obsession.
It's an enjoyable mix of character study/travel writing and, since it's so short, there's no good reason not to give it a try.
