Patagonia Revisited

"Since its discovery by Magellan in 1520, Patagonia has retained its fascination as a metaphor for The Ultimate. Here Bruce Chatwin and PaulTheroux join forces in a literary quest for some of the instances in which these 'final capes of exile' have affected the literary imagination. This lively and delightful curio had its origins in an entertainment the two writers gave for The Royal Geographical Society, at a time when Paul Theroux was following Bruce Chatwin's 'In Patagonia' with 'The Old Patagonian Express'"—Publisher's description, p. [2] of dust jacket.
