_Errant Destinations_ is a collection of nine literary chronicles in
which contemporary Chilean-Jewish author Andrea Jeftanovic reflects on
travel in its multiple variations, with reference to diverse fields of
study, including references to cinema, literature, and the visual
arts. Jeftanovic transforms travel into an art form, inviting the
reader to participate in literary and geographical encounters in
foreign places such as the tunnel that unites Sarajevo bombarded
during the Balkan War; the diffuse maritime delineation between Chile
and Peru; an organization for relatives of victims of the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict; the hidden corners of Brazilian writer
Clarice Lispector’s characters; the hotel room in Cienfuegos where
Castro stayed in two distinct historical moments; and 1970s
California, where the author endeavors to find Janis Joplin. Combining
chronicle with fiction and testimony, the author employs a perceptive
and personal gaze that reveals an extraordinary capacity to explore
and reveal the many facets and recesses of the human psyche.
