Suffled How It Gush
A North American Anarchist in the Balkans
by Shon Meckfessel
The first edition of Shon's travelogue through the former Yugoslavia, from Albania to Zagreb.
“An
idealistic and self-destructive punk is a perfect collector of
the ruminatings of the denizens of the Balkans as they wrestle
with the difficulties -- imposed and organic -- of polyethnicity.
Meckfessel’s patient portraits, which delve deeply into
the illogic of the nation-state itself, deserve wide readership.”
—Daniel Burton-Rose,
author of Guerrillas In Our Midst: The Life and Times of the
George Jackson Brigade and co-editor of The Celling of
America: An Inside Look at the US Prison Industry
“Suffled
How It Gush will leave the reader with an indelible impression
of the vicissitudes of daily life in the Balkans... Meckfessel's
exploration of the complex dynamics of Balkan life make Suffled a captivating reading experience.”
—Darko Fazarinc, Eastern European
Service Agency
“Hope
symbolized in mysterious snack packages... Set against a stark
backdrop of urban rubble, bullet-scored sidewalks and razorwire,
where abstract notions of 'ethnic integrity,' 'nationalism,' 'liberation'
and 'foreign capital' are all very real, played out in a dramatic
theater of skinheads, anarchists, riot cops, border guards, and
ordinary people trying to make sense of it all.”
—Justin Allen, freelance journalist
