chattypattyxoxo 's review for:
In Patagonia
by Bruce Chatwin
Interesting form and style, but the cold observations of an outsider start to wear on you. He gives you these details that are supposed to be desolate and beautiful and kind of sad, but man it wears on you. Also, it's hard to ignore how much he ignores the local and indigenous Patagonians, in favor of talking about recent Welsh, English, and American immigrants. And when he does turn his attention to the natives it's always with a derisive lens. There were some intriguing anecdotes, but in the end it didn't have much to do with Patagonia.
