Comradely Greetings: The Prison Letters of Nadya and Slavoj

by Nadya Tolokonnikova and Slavoj Žižek - £5.99  Verso Books (2014)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781781687734 | ISBN 10: 1781687730

A fascinating exchange between the punk-philosopher and the philosopher-punk.
 
”We are the rebels asking for the storm, and believing that truth is only to be found in an endless search ... Two years of prison for Pussy Riot is our tribute to a destiny that gave us sharp ears, allowing us to sound the note A when everyone else is used to hearing G flat.”
 
In an extraordinary exchange of letters, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, imprisoned for taking part in Pussy Riot’s anti-Putin performance, and Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek discuss artistic subversion, political activism, and the future of democracy via the ideas of Hegel, Deleuze, Nietzsche, and even Laurie Anderson.
 
Two radicals, one in a Russian forced labor camp, the other writing to her from far outside its walls, show passionately – across linguistic and generational divides – that “there is still a common cause worth fighting for.” Touching, erudite, and worldly, their correspondence unfolds with poetic urgency.
 
In association with Philosophie Magazine.
