| Publisher Description: A wry, cutting deconstruction of the Communist empire by one of Eastern Europe's exceptional authors. Called a perceptive and amusing social critic, with a wonderful eye for detail by The Washington Post, Slavenka Drakulic-a native of Croatia-has emerged as one of the most popular and respected critics of Communism to come out of the former Eastern Bloc. In A Guided Tour Through the Museum of Communism, she offers a eight-part exploration of Communism by way of an unusual cast of narrators, each from a different country, who reflect on the fall of Communism. Together they constitute an Orwellian send-up of absurdities during the final years of European Communism that showcase this author's tremendous talent. |
