Ariel Dorfman Releases "Homeland Security Ate My Speech"

Ariel Dorfman, an emeritus professor of literature and the author of the play “Death and the Maiden,” combines elements of memoir, political theory and literary criticism in his new collection of essays, “Homeland Security Ate My Speech: Messages from the End of the World” (OR Books), published this week.

The essays offer an emotionally raw yet measured assessment of the United States after the election of President Donald Trump.
