Letters of Insurgents

Description

Originally printed by Black and Red Books in 1976, Fredy Perlman’s classic epistolary novel Letters of Insurgents has been unfortunately out of print for several years. However, Left Bank Books is very proud to bring this book back, with a new foreword written by Aragorn!

“Two individuals living on distant continents resume contact through
correspondence. They describe meaningful events and relationships in their lives during the twenty years since their youthful liaison, comparing the choices each took. Yarostan lives in a “workers’ republic”; Sophia in a “Western democracy.” They both make efforts to lead meaningful lives. Along the way, they encounter bureaucrats, idealists, racists, flaunters of social convention, labor militants, professors, jailors, hucksters and more. In important respects, Sophia’s biography parallels that of Fredy Perlman.”
