In \u003ci\u003eA Guided Tour Through the Museum of Communism\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.“[\u003ci\u003eA Guided Tour Through the Museum of Communism\u003c\/i\u003e] beautifully renders the dilemmas of life under Communism as sharp instances of moral tragedy and poignant examples of the limits of self-knowledge. Literature here is an aide-memoire, not just of the historical experience, but of why we choose to forget.” —Timothy Snyder, author of \u003ci\u003eOn Tyranny\u003c\/i\u003eSlavenka Drakulic was born in Croatia in 1949.
