How We Survived Communism And Even Laughed
by Slavenka Drakulić
"She bought her staples, too: chocolate bars, a bottle of vodka, and cookies. 'I'll just sit in front of the TV tonight and wait for the military coup. I only hope that by the time it starts, I'm dead drunk,' she said. She was standing in my doorway, all of her defenses against the war contained in a single paper bag"
An intimate and diverse look at women during the 50-80's of communist USSR. Drakulić's prose are both poignant and captivating. There were many sentences that had me stopping and thinking. The book makes you reevaluate your own life, as well as connect to women living in the harsh poverty of this area and time.
