520    "A fascinating narrative of life in communist Romania, and
       a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of literature
       and censorship. The Censor's Notebook opens with an 
       exchange of letters between "Liliana Corobca" and Emilia 
       Codrescu, long the female chief of the Secret Documents 
       Office in Romania's feared State Directorate of Media and 
       Printing-the government branch responsible for Censorship.
       Codrescu had been responsible for the burning and 
       shredding of the censors' notebooks, viewed as State 
       secrets but prior to fleeing the country in 1974 she had 
       stolen one such notebook. Now, forty years later, she 
       makes the notebook available to Liliana for the newly 
       instituted Museum of Communism. The work of a censor-a job
       about which it is forbidden to talk-is revealed in this 
       notebook, which discloses not only the structures of the 
       institution of censorship but also the life behind the 
       scenes for one of those deciding the fate of books, with 
       their distress, outrage, humor and guilt. It's just five 
       months in the life of censor Filofteia Moldovean, but they
       are so tightly packed with events that they give a sense 
       of this mysterious institution as a world unto itself"--
