{"product_id":"books-with-chatwin-by-susannah-clapp","title":"With Chatwin","description":"Few writers have had as many distinct lives as Bruce Chatwin and few have been as compelling in person as in print. Chatwin was a traveller, an aesthete and an anthropologist. In his twenties he was a star at Sotheby's; in his thirties he was a star at The Sunday Times. A solitary man and a socialite; he was always  exotic. He became famous as the person who reinvented travel-writing and when he died in 1989, aged 48, he had published six strikingly varied books.   Susannah Clapp's book is not a biography, but collects her own memories of Chatwin and those of his friends, acquaintances and colleagues, with the aim of producing a chronology of the author's life and, more important, of illuminating particular fields of interest. This is not merely a celebratory volume, but a investigatory one, illustrated with photographs of and by Bruce Chatwin.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673542156561,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780099733713.jpg?v=1781526579","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-with-chatwin-by-susannah-clapp","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
