{"product_id":"heading-south-looking-north-a-bilingual-journey-9780140282535","title":"Heading South, Looking North: A Bilingual Journey","description":"In this remarkable memoir, Dorfman describes an extraordinary life, torn between the United States, South America, and his Jewish heritage, between English and Spanish, between revolution and repression. Interwoven with the story of how Dorfman switched languages and countries--not once, but three times--is a day-to-day account of his multiple escapes from death during Pinochet's military takeover of Chile in 1973. Combining eight vignettes of his life before 1973 with eight scenes from the coup, Dorfman filters these events through an engaging, hybrid consciousness.A beautifully written and deeply moving auto-biography by one of the \"greatest living Latin American writers\" (\u003cb\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/b\u003e), \u003cb\u003eHeading South, Looking North\u003c\/b\u003e is at once a vivid account of a life as complex and mysterious as the fictional characters Dorfman has created, and an enthralling search for a permanent home, a political cause, and a cultural identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140282535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.76h x 5.10w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e31381 \/ Heading South, Looking North\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 19\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ariel Dorfman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44033747353781,"sku":"9780140282535","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_52f9b026-432c-4b3e-9d7e-9203d6fca93c.jpg?v=1713885558","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/heading-south-looking-north-a-bilingual-journey-9780140282535","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
