Ugresic Dubravka - Culture Of Lies - Paperback

Description: The Culture of Lies is one of the most intelligent and lucid accounts of an appalling episode in history. It shows us the banality and brutality of nationalism and the way that nationalistic ideology permeates every pore of life. Ugresic's acerbic and penetrating essays cover everything from politics to daily routine from public to private life. With a diverse and unusual perspective she writes about memory soap operas the destruction of everyday life kitsch the conformity of intellectuals propaganda and censorship the strategies of human manipulation and the walls of Europe which she argues never really did fall. Shot through with irony and sadness satirical protest and bitter melancholy The Culture of Lies is a gesture of intellectual resistance by a writer branded 'a traitor and 'a witch in Croatia.
