Further Responses to Patagonia - A Cultural History

“Some readers will find it difficult to read any more
about the region after being subjected to the work of
Bruce Chatwin; In Patagonia was a brief success on
its first publication. Happily, however, the canny
Moss, who himself is a stylish writer, is not to be
taken in. He calls the work perfect for an “exercise
in self-promotion and reinvention” and his own book
is the antidote for anyone succumbing to a bout of
Chatwinismo and the ennui it produces.” From Hugh O’Shaughnessy’s
article.
