(2013) Writing postcommunism, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
when a world falls apart and overnight new and hitherto unfamiliar values come into force. When people from one day to the next are forced to look at their lives differently. … It’s the feeling of having already died once. It is the experience that wanting to begin life for a second time, as if it were the first, just doesn’t work. Because one always ends up dividing one’s life into a before and after and sees oneself in both.2
