Synopsis

Discontent - justified and widely felt. Violence. Revolt. The Revolution. Since 1917, we have been living the dreams of the 19th century. But what has occurred in these dreams? Hungary, 1956. Czechoslovakia, 1968. Cambodia, 1978. Poland, 1982. Zimbabwe? Cuba? Nicaragua? After the Revolution collects work from authors who have experienced these dreams - and their disturbing consequences - and those who, in the West, are trying to make sense of them. Representing, in both fiction and reportage, events in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, China, Cuba, and throughout the world, After the Revolution makes for disturbing reading. Not for what it records; but for what it seems to imply. Among the contributiors:
John Berger
Nella Bielski
James Fenton
Timothy Garton-Ash
Milan Kundera
Someth May
Edward Said
Josef Skvorecky
