DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Direct Action Monterey Network, this month’s 
 Theory & Philosophy reading group is highlighting struggles against 
 solitary confinement by featuring writings by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova who 
 spent time in solitary while in a Russian prison for her protests as part 
 of Pussy Riot.\n\nThis event is part of the monthly actions raising 
 awareness about solitary confinement - the 23rd of each month to represent 
 the 23 hours of each day spent in SHU.\n\nREADINGS AVAILABLE FOR FREE AT 
 OLDCAPITOLBOOKS.COM\n\n    “An extraordinary exchange of letters.” – 
 Guardian\n\n    “We are the rebels asking for the storm, and believing 
 that truth is only to be found in an endless search … Two years of prison 
 for Pussy Riot is our tribute to a destiny that gave us sharp ears, 
 allowing us to sound the note A when everyone else is used to hearing G 
 flat.”\n\nVerso published their correspondence and wrote:\n\n    In an 
 extraordinary exchange of letters, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, imprisoned for 
 taking part in Pussy Riot’s anti-Putin performance, and Slovenian 
 philosopher Slavoj Žižek discuss artistic subversion, political activism, 
 and the future of democracy via the ideas of Hegel, Deleuze, Nietzsche, and 
 even Laurie Anderson.\n\n    Two radicals, one in a Russian forced labor 
 camp, the other writing to her from far outside its walls, show 
 passionately – across linguistic and generational divides – that 
 “there is still a common cause worth fighting for.” Touching, erudite, 
 and worldly, their correspondence unfolds with poetic urgency.\n
