In Patagonia

This travel narrative follows a journey from Buenos Aires south through Patagonia, prompted by a scrap of giant-sloth hide that once hung in a family cabinet. In short chapters the traveler records Welsh settlements in Chubut, isolated estancias, museums of bones, and talk of outlaws, including stories attached to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He collects fragments from exiles, sailors, and farmers rather than a continuous itinerary with a single companion. Landscape, rumor, and documentary scraps sit side by side. The book is a mosaic of encounters and historical asides, not a guidebook and not a novel of one plot.

Quarter-bound in yellow cloth with title and image blocked fluted silver paper sides. Frontispiece and 16 pages of monochrome photos. Yellow endpapers and slipcase.
