Un' altra bellissima descrizione della Patagonia. Ho letto il libro dopo quello di Chatwin - sono due visioni completamente diverse del narrare e del viaggiare. Sepulveda , in questo libro, ha un taglio da "reporter" più che da narratore . I resoconti di viaggio sono scritti benissimo, rendendo reale tutto quello che si legge.

Fits under the "travel" genre in the sense that the episodes occur in various locations, though the author focuses more on the people there than the surroundings. Sepulveda came off as slightly obnoxious to me, but he's certainly a keen observer. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0864424655, Paperback)

Full Circle invites us to accompany Chilean writer Luis Sepulvéda on a "journey without a fixed itinerary". Whatever his subject - brutalities suffered under Pinochet's dictatorship, sleepy tropical towns visited in exile, or the landscapes of legendary Patagonia - Sepulvéda is an unflinchingly honest yet lyrical toryteller. extravagant characters and extraordinary situations are memorably evoked: gauchos organising a tournament of lies, a scheming heiress on the lookout for a husband, a pilot with a corpse on board his plane... Part autobiography, part travel memoir, Full Circle brings us the distinctive voice of one of South America's most compelling writers
