The Songlines : Blurring the Edges of Traditional Genres in Search of a New Nomadic Aesthetics, Christine Texier-Vandamme , single work criticism
'Chatwin's book cannot be related to any specific genre. Though it may appear as a travel book or as a philosophical dialogue, it concerns an anthropological quest based on the works of a controversial author. The core of the book may not be the Australian 'songlines' but a more general reflection on the innate restlessness of man' (Author's abstract p. 75).
