ⓘ About Bruce Chatwin
Bruce Chatwin was an English author of travel, literature and fiction books. He is famously known for reinventing British travel writing thanks to his debut book, In Patagonia, followed by four other books, each unique and extraordinary. He died in 1989 due to AIDs complications. Some of his books have been published posthumously. While in a cave in Chile, Charles had found the remains of a giant slot which was later sold to the British Museum. He mailed his cousin a piece of the animal’s skin, and even though the piece was later lost, it served as a source of inspiration for Chatwin to embark on a journey to visit Patagonia. Aside from non-fiction books, Bruce Chatwin also authored fictional books, one of them dubbed On the Black Hill. The book won Whitebread First Novel Award in 1982.
