    About Under the Sun

    "Wonderful…the closest we are ever going to get to a Chatwin autobiography."
    -William Dalrymple, The Times Literary Supplement (London)

    The celebrated author of such beloved works as In Patagonia and The Songlines, Bruce Chatwin was a nomad whose desire for adventure and enlightenment was made wholly evident by his writing. This marvelous selection of letters-to his wife, to his parents, and to friends, including Patrick Leigh Fermor, James Ivory, and Paul Theroux- reveals a passionate man and a storyteller par excellence. Written with the verve and sharpness of expression that first marked him as an author of singular talent, Chatwin’s letters provide a window into his remarkable life and strikingly detailed insights regarding his literary ambitions and tastes.
