In the second part of the Bookmark special, biographer Nicholas Shakespeare explores Bruce Chatwin's obsession with the nature of human restlessness, and travels to Africa, South America and Australia to discover where the author's fiction - in novels such as The Songlines, The Viceroy of Ouidah and Utz - merged with the truth of his life.
Along the way, he meets people who were real-life models for characters in these novels, and talks to film-maker Werner Herzog and writers Thomas Keneally and Patrick Leigh Fermor.
Radio 4 begins a week of readings, Choice Chatwin, on Monday 12 April.

For over a decade after Charles Lindbergh's historic flight across the Atlantic in 1927, the aviator was viewed as America's greatest hero. One of the most honoured private citizens on earth, in the air Lindbergh seemed to represent all that made America great. But back on the ground his stubborn prejudice and right-wing political views led many of those who had worshipped him to come to see him as a traitor.
Archive footage and photographs contribute to this documentary portrait, which traces the aviator's meteoric rise to world celebrity, chronicles the tragic kidnapping of his son, and investigates racist and anti-Semitic attitudes which were revealed by Lindbergh's flirtation with Nazi Germany. Narrated by Stacy Keach.
