Life Strictly Forbidden
Life Strictly Forbidden is the memoirs of the well-known Polish writer, Antoni Marianowicz, told partly through interviews with journalist Hanna Baltyn, and partly through personal recollections of his family before the War and during the Occupation. The honest, in-depth conversations with Baltyn create a unique picture of the formative life of this influential author and the reality of living in Europe under Hitler. The Marianowicz family was wealthy bourgeoisie but at the age of 16, Antoni was forced to live in the Warsaw ghetto. After 18 months, he fled from the ghetto and managed to survive for three years (1942-45) hiding out in a small provincial town near Warsaw where, paradoxically, he and other Jewish refugees hid in a glass factory that belonged to the Waffen-SS.
Parity of the Sexes
Agacinski's articulation of the theory of "parity" helped inspire a law that went into effect in May 2000 requiring France's political parties to fill 50 percent of the candidacies in every race with women. Agacinski's model of parity does not strive for the nebulous ideal of "equality" between the sexes; instead, it demands a concrete formula for political contests: an equal number of female and male candidates in every election. This theory that has sparked impassioned debate across France and around the globe.
Tango
Arthur lives with his Bohemian family in appalling disorder: his mother sleeps with a vulgar hoodlum; his father looks the other way, meanwhile writing avant-garde plays; and his grandmother plays cards incessantly. Arthur's elaborate coup d'etat, by which he seeks to establish his kind of order in the house at the point of a gun, leads to his total defeat and ends in a chilling moment.

The Culture of Lies
A funny and cynical collection of essays, apercus and sketches denouncing the perversions of political and cultural life in Croatia. The Culture of Lies was written as a reaction to the collapse of Yugoslavia and the unholy war in Croatia and Bosnia. The collection attacks and attempts to understand events in the former Yugoslavia: aggression against people's own brothers, artificial amnesties; adoption of nationalist fascist ideologies; propaganda and censorship; folklore kitsch as a culture of a lie; writers and intellectuals caught up in the Maelstrom of Nationalism. Ugresic's ascerbic and pentrating essays cover everything from politics to daily routine, from public to private life. This is 1 of the most intelligent and lucid accounts of this episode in history by a writer herself exiled and struggling to find a new identity.
