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 Bola o, Vargas Llosa, Lorca, and Galeano, but also an emerging generation of authors and filmmakers whose impact is now making ripples worldwide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEye-opening and charmingly offbeat, \u003ci\u003eHow to Travel without Seeing: Dispatches from the New Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of the Americas.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrés Neuman\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and grew up in Spain.
