Anatomy of restlessness is my first Bruce Chatwin after hearing about him a lot. This is a collection of articles, reviews, short essays, and short stories (and I didn’t know that was the case). I really liked some parts and was bored by others. I loved the way he talked about gypsies and nomadic people as in more egalitarian kinds of societies (I always wanted to go to Patagonia) in contrast with “civilizations” based on hierarchy, social obligations and things (Letter to Tom Maschler, The Nomadic Alternative and It’s a nomad nomad world).

It definitely makes you ponder about your life, about your level of curiosity and wildness, how much you are or aren’t hampered by things in living the life you’re meant to.
