Dorfman has written fiction often dealing with the horrors of tyranny and, in later works, the trials of exile.

Dorfman has also been one of Pinochet's most eloquent critics, and wrote extensively about his extradition case for the Spanish newspaper El País and other publications.Ariel Dorfman is the Walter Hines Page Research Professor of Literature and Professor of Latin American Studies at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
