[[Corsair by Tim Severin]] is a venture by that travel writer into the world of fiction, and is much more obviously a fictionalisation than Chatwin's blend of fact and fiction.
[[The Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great Britain by Paul Theroux]] is a closer comparison, because it deals with some of the issues of the 1980s in Britain which Chatwin's letters chronicle, but also shows the kind of 'outside observer' travel writing which Chatwin moves away from, to the attempt at recreating the (albeit semi-fictional) insider view. Nicholas Shakespeare wrote [[Inheritance by Nicholas Shakespeare|Inheritance]].
