Books I am currently reading:
This book is set apart for several reasons: its author a native of Transylvania, witnessed the harshest period of class-warfare and discrimination, during the early years of Communist grip on Romania. The style is without any frills, in a direct, journalistic manner, without any ambition or pretense of literary value. It is a rather matter-of-fact, bare-bones diary of what life was like under the sordid years of Romanian communism.
In spite of such backdrop, this is not, by any means, a sad account,on the contrary it has its black humour, although the period described is redolent of the darkest years of dictatorship. The author presents a bland, stenographic sequence of the drab, and dour life behind the Iron Curtain, during the post-war experiment with Marxist ideology. Such account represents a worthwhile reminder of times experienced not such a long time ago, especially that the current Romanian-controlled amnesia tries to airbrush the recent past from the public psyche.
Worth reading as a testimony, especially as an antidote to the pre-programmed loss of memory in present-day Romania!

I moved some more books into my office today. Still lots of sorting, reshelving and cataloging to do!
A well illustrated coffee table book for French consumption to imagine "how les Anglais decorate their homes", well not quite, rather what a Colefax & Fowler window dressing looks like. Conran had (i do not know if he still has) a shop in the very exclusive 8e arrondissement and for him this is a good promotion literature.
