What am I Doing Here? (Girst Edition, Hardcover) - Chatwin, Bruce

What Am I Doing Here is Bruce Chatwin's personal selection of his own stories, profiles and travelogues. It reflects a lifetime's fascination for the beautiful and the bizarre, for the strange backwaters of history and the even stranger stories people tell. He goes in search of the Yeti in Nepal, and follows in the footsteps of his mentor Robert Bryon in Afghanistan. We meet him as a young man working for Sotheby's, as an intellectual dreamer reliving a sketch by Turgenev on the banks of the Volga, and a as a keen-eyed reporter researching the identity of a wolf-boy.- from the inside cover of the Jonathan Cape 1989 edition.
