But then he realizes that the fleeting nature of his trip provides him with a unique opportunity: touring and comparing every country of Latin America in a single stroke. 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 BolanÌo, Vargas Llosa, Lorca, and Galeano, but also an emerging generation of authors and filmmakers whose impact is now making ripples worldwide. 600 10 $a Neuman, AndreÌs, $d 1977- $x Travel $z Latin America. 600 17 $a Neuman, AndreÌs, $d 1977- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01927758 651 0 $a Latin America $x Description and travel $v Anecdotes. 651 0 $a Latin America $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Civilization. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85074881 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423876 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423876 700 1 $a Lawrence, Jeffrey, $e translator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2002021340 700 1 $i Translation of (work): $a Neuman, AndreÌs, $d 1977- $t CoÌmo viajar sin ver. $l English. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015004.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0576C328F76711E7BF59292497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
