Read in April, 2010

Marton provides a very interesting look into the workings of a totalitarianism that she can only glean through the personal narrative of her parents told through the impersonal records of a banally evil state. Wow. I can only imagine how strange and horrifying it was to read shopping carts' worth of information about her parents (and herself) dutifully recorded by spies and agents all using the official language, the official ideology, and the official narrative of Communist Hungary.
