What am I doing here? is a personal selection of stories, sketches and travel chronicles by the English author Bruce Chatwin. The book stands out for its sharp irony, its implacable sense of humor and its disenchantment with the commercialization of art and the culture industry. The pieces show Chatwin in various places around the world, from Africa to Afghanistan, traveling the Volga and the Danube, or accompanying Indira Gandhi on an election campaign.
Charles Bruce Chatwin was an English travel writer, novelist and journalist. His first book, In Patagonia (1977), established Chatwin as a travel writer, although he considered himself instead a storyteller, interested in bringing to light unusual tales. He won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel On the Black Hill (1982), while his novel Utz (1988) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2008 The Times ranked Chatwin as number 46 on their list of "50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945".
