Ariel Dorfman conoce bien el destierro. Antes de cumplir trece años, el había huído junto con su familia—judíos que se fueron forzosamente de Europa del Este—de Argentina a los Estados Unidos, y más tarde a Chile. Con el coup contra el presidente socialista de Chile Salvador Allende, Dorfman salió en exilio de nuevo, esta vez a Europa y luego a los Estados Unidos. Para el autor estas peregrinaciones entre países, culturas e idiomas representaron un desplazamiento personal, dejandolo sin país o idioma a cual aferrarse. Rumbo al sur, deseando el norte, un libro de memorias, es un futuro clásico de la literatura de las Américas donde el lector podrá encontrar la cartografía emocional del destierro.
ARIEL DORFMAN is considered to be one of “the greatest Latin American novelists” (Newsweek) and one of the United States’ most important cultural and political voices. Dorfman's numerous works of fiction and nonfiction have been translated into more than thirty languages, including Death and the Maiden, which has been produced in over one hundred countries and made into a film by Roman Polanski. Dorfman has won many international awards, including the Sudamericana Award, the Laurence Olivier, and two from the Kennedy Center. He is distinguished professor at Duke University and lives in Durham, North Carolina.
