Writer Bruce Chatwin Remembers His Extensive Travels
We remember writer Bruce Chatwin, one of the most influential travel writers of his generation. He died five years ago from a rare bone marrow disease he contracted while in China. He was 48 years old. Chatwin spent over 20 years exploring the people and geography of the world. His 1978 travel book "In Patagonia" chronicled his solitary journey through South America. His last novel Utz was set in the art world. This interview is from 1987.
