In Feeding on Dreams, Dorfman portrays, through visceral scenes and powerful intellect, the personal and political maelstroms that have defined his life since the Pinochet coup. In Buenos Aires, he's on the run from death squads. Next, still holding out hope for Chile's return to democracy, he lives in ever-rotating safe houses in Paris and Amsterdam, where his loyalty to his political party and his wife's loyalty to him are dramatically tested. Finally he finds an uneasy refuge in America, his childhood home. And then, seventeen years after he was forced to leave Chile, Pinochet is out and Dorfman goes back to live there, setting in motion an unimaginable outcome.\u003cbr\u003e Dorfman's wry and masterfully told account provides a page-turning tour of the past several decades of North\/South political history and of the complex consequences of revolution and tyranny. He has lived in the aftermath of revolution, and his perspective could not be more relevant today.\u003cbr\u003e \"Feeding on Dreams\" is a passionate reminder that \"we are all exiles,\" that we are all \"threatened with annihilation if we do not find and celebrate the refuge of common humanity,\" as Dorfman did during his \"decades of loss and resurrection.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multifaceted journey that is geographical, personal and political . . .
