• Chilean Ariel Dorfman (pictured at right) and Brazilian Paolo Coelho will release new books on Tuesday. Dorfman’s book, Feeding on Dreams (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), discusses his exile from Chile after the Pinochet coup. He will make several appearances across the country, including at the New York Public Library tonight. Coelho’s book, Aleph (Knopf), is a novel similar to his megabestselling, The Alchemist.
