Here are three great ways to get to know a little about Chile, if you're keen.
1) Watch La Odisea. Three Chileans go adventuring in their own land. Lots of travel and adventure among countryside so spectacular it doesn't matter if you can't understand what they say!
2) Read Isabel Allende's My Invented Country: A Memoir. Wry, insightful and gently deprecating, it gives you a good feel for the many-threaded web that is a country's culture.
3) Watch NO. Recently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and shot with delightful creativity, NO is a strange but captivating mix of cynicism and hope.

Just put the Allende book on hold at the State Library. (BTW Tassie peeps, there are abridged and unabridged audio book versions available from the library too!)
