Ted reviewed The songlines by Bruce Chatwin
Review of 'The songlines' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A great book, one of my favorites, devoid of cliche, indignant to the form that a book should take, pompous, presumptuous, gracefully crafted and simple.

Follow Chatwin on his journey into the 'Red Centre' of Australia. Part autobiography, part story, part history, part anthropology. Teaches us how Aboriginal Australians perceive their landscapes, and negotiate with each other in that vast, nomadic environment.
