Stranger Things....
The first of Chatwin's books but oddly the last to be read by me. Often said to be the book that re-defined or re-invigorated the art of travel writing. The skeleton of Chatwin's future style - much evident in say the Songlines - is there. The travel being merely a framework on which to hang any number of intriguing stories ranging from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to the self-proclaimed King of Patagonia.
However, now that we know that Chatwin was not averse to embroidering the truth or indeed simply making stuff up - then it is difficult to see how this can be regarded as "Travel Writing" as such or simply Chatwin's own modern peculiar hybrid of "travtion" or "fictrel" perhaps?
Having said that, the book was never less than both entertaining and educational. And together with the photographs (not brilliant in this edition), vivid descriptions of the territory I did feel that I got a sense of the place and the many characters involved in its formation and history.
But how much of it is true? And does it matter over much?

Very Good product but requires some elbow grease
Used on a stairs carpet where use of wet shampooing impractical. Result was good - carpet looked revived and smelled good. But it involved a lot of elbow grease and 5 days later I am still finding excess powder that needs to be vacuumed away
