The human side of the transition from a socialist to a capitalist world.One person stand for so many in: Hungary, Russia, East Germany or Poland. Don’t worry it is funny, very funny. This is maybe the best aspect of the book, it is so humanly funny. It is funny if you can give up everything what is normal (or just given) in the western world. You have to think like in Alice in wonderland, everything is new and very, very illogical. Now you can start to have fun. It is so authentic.; believe me, I am from such a country. The writer grew up in Poland and moved to Vienna, Austria. He knows exactly what he is writing about. The humour comes mainly from the high expectation about the west and the real western world (or western values).
