His book is a visionary family saga filled with ancestors both mythical and real including bee-covered relatives, women who commune with wolves, snake charmers, and militant anarchists. Where the Bird Sings Best owes its title to Jean Cocteau's reflection: "A bird sings best on its family tree." 600 10 $a Jodorowsky, Alejandro. 650 0 $a Authors, Mexican $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, Chilean $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Theatrical producers and directors $z Mexico $v Biography. 650 0 $a Theatrical producers and directors $z Chile $v Biography. 650 0 $a Actors $z Chile $v Biography. 700 1 $a Macadam, Alfred, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006085048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E88B9B6A47CA11E598A1CBA4DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
