36 Yalta Boulevard
by Olen Steinhauer
by Olen Steinhauer
It's the 60's and the Cold War is in full swing. Brano Sev is a devoted employee for the Department of Ministry stationed in Vienna but his home is in Yugoslavia. After waking up from a hit in the head and not remembering who he was or what had happened, his life takes an unexpected turn. As he regains his memory he is banished to his homeland and reassigned to a factory job. When he's unexpectedly called back to serve his government, he considers it an opportunity to regain his former life and prestige. Unlike many who sought countless ways to escape the confines of socialism, Brano is devoted to the cause and casts aside liberty, love and family as he serves his ruthless leaders. Sadly, it was probably VERY realistic- yet I kept rooting for him to embrace life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
