Ariel Dorfman

(Vladimiro) Ariel Dorfman (born May 6, 1942) Chilean playwright, human rights activist

Dorfman talks about his writing here

Dorfman: I would do a disservice to the reader to explain how the investigation into the death of Allende and the way in which humanity is committing suicide reveal a model of what we must do if we are to survive. Today, as apocalypse nears—a theme I approached in my recent sci-fi novella, The Compensation Bureau—I fear the world is not yet ready to listen to the unborn who are demanding that we do something now before they even have a chance of seeing the light of day and the wonder of night.
