'Zilahy's account is often funny, but always raw and direct: a far cry from the nostalgic soup often poured over the spectre of 1968.' -Philip Oltermann, 'The Independent' 'Not only a great piece of literature but a visual feast as well.' -Julian Evans, 'BBC' 'In these bittersweet pages you will find the fall of the regimes, and the last twenty years of Eastern Europe.' -Enrico Remmert, 'Rolling Stone Magazine' 'Originally a poet, Zilahy writes with clarity and economy.' -Tibor Fischer, 'The Telegraph' 'Zilahy delivers a generational confession...' -'Times Literary Supplement' 'A remarkable and best-selling author... Peter Zilahy has written a book that almost defies description.' -Ian McMillan, 'The Verb', BBC Radio 3 'Zilahy captures the 'Groundhog Day' feeling of the protests in Belgrade... ' -'Time Out' 'It captures what was a near-universal local experience so well, a transition that is monumental and yet oddly anti-climactic... And it's a very good-looking book, too.' - 'The Complete Review'
