The way from Boston to Patagonia was one of great contrasts - contrasts in people, in temperature,in scenery,in altitude,in attitude.Some of the trains were superb, most were deplorable.Parochialism and zenophobia were coupled with some of the most staggeringly beautiful sights in the world,and some of the most squalid. Throughout,Paul Theroux observed and experienced with a sharp eye,an unbiased mind and,ultimately,a vivid pen.His previous travel book,'The Great Railway Bazaar',was widely admired.'The Old Patagonian Express' establishes him firmly among those writers like Graham Greene, Patrick Leigh Fermour and Lawrence Durrell who can evoke a place with total clarity.
