Title: Dreaming Chatwin
Review: An adventure in Australia? No. A traveller's log? No. An aboriginal rite of passage tale? No. A historical account? No. Songlines is the story of the Dreaming. It is a book about all the above in no particular order. The story unfolds when Bruce, the author and narrator starts his learning about Australia and the Aboriginal people through Arkady, a Russian-born Australian with a thorough but not glamorous understanding of the Aboriginals. Bruce is searching for himself the true meaning of the Songlines. This is his Work. By listening to Arkady, he learns. By going to Australia, he understands, or does he?
