About the Author:
Patrick Wilcken grew up in Sydney and studied at Goldsmiths College and the Institute of Latin American Studies in London.

He is the author of Empire Adrift: He has spent lengthy periods in Rio de Janeiro and now lives in London, with his wife and child.
Review:
PRAISE FOR 'EMPIRE A DRIFT': 'Wilcken's perceptive and skilful narration of the extraordinary culture clash between New and Old Worlds is fascinating, at times hilarious and helps explain why modern Brazil turned out so differently from its South American neighbours' Alex Bellos 'A brilliant account ... Empire Adrift is a model of historical writing, erudite yet lively, maintaining narrative vigour while accurately rendering complex events at different times in different continents' Guardian
