The book, of course, was always intended to be made up of byways: it was meant to slope off, to jump backwards and forwards in time, to slip from description to speculation, from history to evocation.

The Viceroy of Ouida is the least immediately beguiling, though not the least accomplished of Chatwin's books. It is the most jeweled and the most horror-filled: there are knifings, brandings of flesh, poisonings, cholera, beatings, pus and dysentery.
