Part memoir, part autobiography, part portrait of a generation, this book returns to the people left out by communism's slogan of building a 'new life': the rejected, the unheroic, those whose lives were never fully lived. Written with self-irony and confessional warmth, it reflects on an era whose traumas still mark the present, on fear, lies and the loss of trust between neighbours, and on the questions that remain unanswered after 1989.
