Today in Eastern Europe the architectural work of revolution is complete: the old order has been replaced by various forms of free market economy and de jure democracy. But as Slavenka Drakulic observes, "in everyday life, the revolution consists much more of the small things-- of sounds, looks and images." In this brilliant work of political reportage, filtered through her own experience, we see that Europe remains a divided continent. In the place of the fallen Berlin Wall there is a chasm between East and West, consisting of the different way people continue to live and understand the world. Little bits--or intimations--of the West are gradually making their way east: boutiques carrying Levis and tiny food shops called "Supermarket" are multiplying on main boulevards. Despite the fact that Drakulic can find a Cafe Europa, complete with Viennese-style coffee and Western decor, in just about every Eastern European city, the acceptance of the East by the rest of Europe continues to prove much more elusive.

評分共産黨國傢都差不多
評分Eastern Europe's experience is similar to ours and Drakulic's stories with her clever observations are enlightening.
評分Slavenka 是兼具幽默與犀利的典型的巴爾乾作傢和記者,但她又是復雜矛盾的,作為一個信奉西方價值觀的南斯拉夫時代走過來的作傢,她在這十幾篇論述後社會主義時代的巴爾乾狀況的雜文中,顯現一種被自由與歸屬兩種渴望反復拉鋸的茫然。你無法定義她,歸類她,就像你無法定義巴爾乾。你無法用單一範疇去界定ta的屬性。西方還是東方?民族還是身份?沒有結論,而這正是她和她背後那片土地的魅力所在。書中所謂“伊斯特拉主義”,可作為一種完美的象徵——每個人都是混血,identity is more than nationality
