By general consensus, Chatwin's best book - a "novel of ideas," as the publisher puts it, of Australian aborigines and the questions about man that arise from the vast gulf that separates the culture of contemporary Western civilized man from that of the wandering tribes of Australia. Vonnegut, Kurg. Bluebeard. 1987. Signed by Vonnegut.
