Several months passed before anyone realized she had disappeared. She resurfaced in Berlin and has lived there ever since. Piper has consistently and firmly refused to return to the US or explain why she left. Many assume it was because she discovered her name on the Transportation Security Administration's Suspicious Travelers watchlist. Others point to Wellesley College's forcible termination of her tenured full professorship. Yet others speculate that George W. Bush's presidency, or American racism, or the invasion of Iraq compelled her to leave. All these conjectures are groundless. \u003ci\u003eEscape to Berlin: A Travel Memoir\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping autobiographical narrative that provides a full account of the facts from the artist herself. Previously out of print, this essential memoir returns in English for fans of the beloved conceptualist to discover and enjoy anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 332\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 9.4 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763370230048,"sku":"9788836657179","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/fbc2fb743f45344017f5a35e58cdc539.jpg?v=1780233501","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/escape-to-berlin-a-travel-memoir-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
