LIVING IN THE PARALLEL POLIS... By David A Sylvester, Prisoner # 91441-020

If the basic job of 'dissident movements' is to serve the truth, that is, to serve the aims of a free and spontaneous life, then we must develop an unofficial 'parallel polis' in education, publishing, art, even foreign policy and economy. All these will flourish naturally underneath the crust of lies of the official polis as it seeks to preserve its power based on a world of appearances. -- Adapted from Vaclav Havel, Soviet-era Czech dissident, 1978.

Book regulations (to be confirmed)

> I will appreciate books greatly. However, there are limitations.
> Currently, you can only mail me PAPERBACK books in a brown mailing envelope. No boxes or cardboard. I can only receive HARDBACKS from a publisher or Amazon.com. Apparently, the prison system is about to change this so that I won’t be able to get any paperbacks from outside individuals. The only books I can receive are from a publisher or Amazon.com. I’ll post the changes here when they happen.
> I can receive more than four or five books at a time.
> Right now, the best way to donate books to me is:
> First, check my blog. I will post a reading list.
> Then email me at lompocdavid@yahoo.com with the name of the book you want to donate or send so that Barbara Erickson, my local support person, can ask me if I have room in my cell.
> I can only have five books at a time in my cell area and I may not be able to take them out of the prison afterwards. I may have to donate them to the library or other inmates. So your donations may end up staying at the prison.
> I hope to do a lot of reading, within these physical restrictions, and I will welcome books.
