About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audio edition of What Am I Doing Here? by Bruce Chatwin.
In this collection of profiles, essays and travel stories, Chatwin takes us to Benin, where he is arrested as a mercenary during a coup; to Boston to meet an LSD guru who believes he is Christ; to India with Indira Ghandi when she attempted a political comeback in 1978; and to Nepal where he reminds us that 'Man's real home is not a house, but the Road, and that life itself is a journey to be walked on foot'

As a writer he was unclassifiably interesting: lucid, ironic, cool. He seemed to owe nothing to anybody. (Colin Thubron)
One of its chief delights is that it contains so many of its author'sbest anecdotes, his choicest performances (Salman Rushdie)
I like the combination of its far-reaching quality and the minute precision with which his thoughts are charted (Rose Tremain)
