Comprised of 21 essays spanning 5 decades and multiple continents, Where the World Was offers a vivid portrait of a writer who is instinctively drawn to other cultures and places. Whether writing about a solo vacation inside the Iron Curtain, meeting the reclusive writer Elizabeth Smart in a dilapidated cottage in the English countryside, reflecting on how Chilean society responded to Pinochet's coup, or tracking down the people who knew Svetlana Alliluyeva for Stalin's Daughter, Sullivan delivers a master class in cultural studies, human rights advocacy, and empathy for the human condition.","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57830120423750,"sku":"9781773102818","price":22.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/3370c3fee3ddb862ba38e6185c853db2b6ccda9a4f203253d6304af625df86bd.jpg?v=1794103623","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/where-the-world-was","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
