Recently purchased the Folio Society version of his Secret Pilgrimage and look forward to giving it a read.

eight years pass...

the film Mountains Of the Moon was about him I think. Think when I finally found that out I'd already missed a lot of the beginning and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Thought it was a Paul Bowles novel or something.

Very interesting life he lead, very widely traveled. Really do need to read the bio A Rage To Live which is also heavily about his wife who I haven't heard as much about.
