Comradely Greetings: The Prison Letters of Nadya and Slavoj

Interesting reading.

Dissociate Stalinist henchmen in forced-labor systems. The final discussion in two letters in March 2014 after two prisoners are released and form Zona Prava for future activities, show so much desire for solutions. Systems like to make complicity a condition linked to survival, but declaring a hunger strike turns the tables like a song Hunger Strike from Temple of the Dog. Zizek contributes a joke at the end to show how buying land could turn into a choice of what kind of land do you want? With bones or without? Becoming so disjointed that picking a bone from social disarticulation is gut wrenching makes going hungry like the music created for Temple of the Dog.

A great short read, the experiences of Nadya in the prison camp are harrowing and really shocking, but one can see how it is a way in which alot of prison labour works, but despite this her letters back to Slavoj are amazing really stir the spirit. I would say that teh letters from Slavoj to Nadya are more just the sounding board and it is her replies which build on and critique and at times show up Slavoj himself for some ingrained ways of thinking. all in all an excellent text!

Bought as a present. The recipient speaks very highly of it.
