Under the Sun
“Bruce flew out for Bobby’s funeral in Geneseo and stayed on in Gertrude’s apartment on Fifth Avenue. He had $3,500 expenses from the Sunday Times and was supposed to be writing a story on the Guggenheim family. But he felt at the end of his tether with the magazine – ‘which we all felt was being wrecked from “above” ’. On 2 November, ‘on the spur of the moment’, he made a break for it; he plotted to meet up with Elizabeth and Gertrude in Peru in early April.
Magnus Linklater, the magazine’s edi...tor, has no recollection of the telegram that Chatwin claimed to have sent to the Sunday Times: GONE TO PATAGONIA FOR FOUR MONTHS. The telegram most likely took the form of this letter to Francis Wyndham.
To Francis Wyndham Lima | Peru | 11 December 1974 Dear Francis, I have done what I threatened. I suddenly got fed up with N.Y. and ran away to South America. I have been staying with a cousin in Lima for the past week and am going tonight to Buenos Aires.MoreLess
