pbFrom award-winning Polish reporter Margo Rejmer comes a revelatory oral history of everyday life in Albania under the dictatorship of Enver Hoxa, one of the twentieth century's most isolated and Kafkaesque regimes.bppFor nearly half a century Albania was held captive by one man. A brutal dictator with a deep paranoid streak, Enver Hoxha sealed the country's borders, severed alliances, and enacted a Stalinist regime of gulags and purges that persisted long after the death of Stalin himself. Many thousands suffered and died in silence, a silence that lingers today no truth and reconciliation commission has ever fully reckoned with what happened to the people of Albania.ppIn iMud Sweeter than Honeyi, Albanians break the silence. Margo Rejmer spent years in Albania gathering interviews that shed light on the four decades of Hoxha's rule and virtually every walk of life teachers and children, imprisoned and exiled writers, nuns and factory workers. She arranges the voices of her interlocutors into a chorus that bears witness to how ordinary people lived and died. We are immersed in desperate border crossings, prison revolts, and everyday struggles to make a living. We meet a writer who finds secret freedom in a tiny village library of banned books, overlooked by censors. We meet a man who still only speaks in a whisper, afraid of being overheard.ppWhile Albanians endured surveillance, imprisonment, and torture under Hoxha, they also read books and fell in love, raised families and found ways to survive. In the tradition of Svetlana Alexievich, iMud Sweeter than Honeyi is our most vivid, intimate portrait available in English of this little-understood corner of Europe.p
