Neuman writes on the move, generating a kinetic work that is at once puckish and poetic, aphoristic and brimming with curiosity. Even so-called non-places--airports, hotels, taxis--are turned into powerful symbols full of meaning. A dual Argentine-Spanish citizen, he incisively explores cultural identity and nationality, immigration and globalization, history and language, and turbulent current events. Above all, Neuman investigates the artistic lifeblood of Latin America, tackling with gusto not only literary heavyweights such as Bola o, Vargas Llosa, Lorca, and Galeano, but also an emerging generation of authors and filmmakers whose impact is now making ripples worldwide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEye-opening and charmingly offbeat, \u003ci\u003eHow to Travel without Seeing: Dispatches from the New Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of the Americas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrés Neuman, Jeffrey Lawrence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632060558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632060556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Restless Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2016 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2016 pg. 15","brand":"Andrés Neuman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991757455615,"sku":"9781632060556","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e913acd2-7381-4a73-939b-6f6b169e0d3d.jpg?v=1683312054","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-travel-without-seeing-andrs-neuman-9781632060556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
