4.0

As Laâbi is mostly a poet, it is not surprising that I found parts of his writing style poetic. Not only does he touch on his imprisonment & torture for "crimes of opinion" (in Morocco), he also identifies worldwide with other political prisoners -- past, present, & future. Much of the book centers on the sensations of readjusting to the outside world after being released. A strong & touching book.
