Though his career spanned merely twelve years, his impact and influence were profoundly felt; Chatwin's first book, \u003cem\u003eIn Patagonia\u003c\/em\u003e, redefined travel writing, whilst his later work, \u003cem\u003eThe Songlines\u003c\/em\u003e, became one of the literary sensations of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporating original and extensive archival research, as well as new interviews with his family and friends, \u003cem\u003eAnywhere Out of the World\u003c\/em\u003e provides the definitive critical perspective upon the literary life and work of this enigmatic and influential author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe work, now available in paperback, offers a chronological overview of Chatwin's literary career, from his first, ultimately aborted work \u003cem\u003eThe Nomadic Alternative\u003c\/em\u003e—here discussed in detail for the first time—through to his final novel \u003cem\u003eUtz\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn subjecting his work to such analysis, the study uncovers a striking thematic commonality in Chatwin's oeuvre: his work is fundamentally preoccupied with the subject of human restlessness. This volume provides detailed insight into Chatwin's treatment of the subject in his work, identifying and discussing the biographical and philosophical sources of this defining preoccupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595688689900,"sku":"9780719099823","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780719099823-anywhere-out-of-the-world.jpg?v=1777902122","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/anywhere-out-of-the-world-by-jonathan-chatwin-9780719099823","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
