 Some individuals profiled in In Patagonia were unhappy with Chatwin 's portrayals of them . They included one man whom Chatwin insinuated was homosexual and a woman who thought her father was unjustly accused of killing Indians . However , Chatwin 's biographer found one farmer who was featured in the book who thought Chatwin 's depictions of himself and other members of his community were truthful . He stated , " No one likes looking at their own passport photograph , but I found it accurate . It 's not flattering , but it 's the truth . "
