""Fascinating and excellent . . . important not just because it
illuminates history, but because at the center of the story is Ioan
Culianu, a figure so interesting no novelist could invent him. [In
this murder] fiction and fact change places in a deadly game of
masks and illusions."" --Andrei Codrescu
|"Reveals both a fascinating individual's twenty-year-long
life-and-death struggle with his conscience, and a violent
underground war in Eastern Europe. This is a story not only about
the power of freedom of speech and press, but also about the
explosive convergence of scholarship and politics, and the very
real risks of the unencumbered life of the mind."
—Jeffrey Kittay, publisher, Lingua Franca
