<b>A wry cutting deconstruction of the Communist empire by one of Eastern Europe's exceptional authors. </b> <p/> Called a perceptive and amusing social critic with a wonderful eye for detail by <i>The Washington Post</i> 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 <i>A Guided Tour Through the Museum of Communism</i> 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.
