Synopsis
In this collection of profiles, essays and travel stories, Chatwin takes us to Benin, where he is arrested as a mercenary during a coup; to Boston to meet an LSD guru who believes he is Christ; to India with Indira Gandhi when she attempted a political comeback in 1978; and to Nepal where he reminds us that 'Man's real home is not a house, but the Road, and that life itself is a journey to be walked on foot.

Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
One of the greatest travellers and travel writers, who, sadly, died in 1989, recorded some of his journeys through life in this last book. He writes memorably of Malraux, Mrs Gandhi and Werner Herzog in action as he directs The Viceroy of Ouidah. His manner of observing is unique. (Kirkus UK)
