katejohhh 's review for:
In Patagonia
by Bruce Chatwin
adventurous
informative
slow-paced
I appreciated Chatwin's descriptions of the Patagonian landscape, but most of his account focuses on European settlers in Patagonia. I would have preferred more focus and attention paid to the wider history of the region, specifically its native people.
There were some interesting bits of history tucked into the book, but the whole thing felt like Chatwin was playing a little fast and loose with facts. The structure was very fragmented, which made it difficult to feel invested or absorbed in the narrative.
