Letters of Insurgents

Letters of Insurgents by Fredy Perlman. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780939306053.

Two individuals living on distant continents resume contact through correspondence. They describe meaningful events and relationships in their lives during the twenty years since their youthful liaison, comparing the choices each took. Yarostan lives in a ""workers republic""; Sophia in a ""Western democracy."" They both make efforts to lead meaningful lives. Along the way, they encounter bureaucrats, idealists, racists, flaunters of social convention, labor militants, professors, jailors, hucksters and more. In important respects, Sophias biography parallels that of Fredy Perlman.
