About Unknown Author

Charles Bruce Chatwin (13 May 1940 – 18 January 1989) was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, *In Patagonia* (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel *On the Black Hill* (1982), while his novel *Utz* (1988) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945". (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Chatwin))
