NEW-
Not Like the Stars At All: Czechoslovakia Diaries by Darcy Rhyno A deep dive into daily life in post-communist Czechoslovakia of 1990, this book is based on the diaries of Darcy Rhyno from his time there as a teacher. He lived and worked in a small town just months after the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall. He gets to know the daily lives of adult students and develops intimate relationships with them and their families. As a backdrop, Czechoslovakia is a country in transition politically and economically, a country that will soon disappear from the world map as President Vaclav Havel leads his people out of decades of communist rule and as the USSR slowly extracts the Soviet military after 22 years of occupation. At the edge of town is a compound that houses military equipment and a Soviet occupying force larger than the population of the town itself. The writer's time in the town parallels the USSR's preparation for departure and the country's efforts to recreate itself as a western democracy. All this he observes from his room in the zamek or rural chateau that overlooks the town square. |
