Description

The Ministry of PainHaving fled the violent breakup of Yugoslavia, Tanja Lucic is now a professor of literature at the University of Amsterdam, where she teaches a class filled with other young Yugoslav exiles, most of whom earn meager wages assembling leather and rubber S&M clothing at a sweatshop they call the Ministry. Abandoning literature, Tanja encourages her students to indulge their Yugonostalgia in essays about their personal experiences during their homeland's

Having fled the violent breakup of Yugoslavia, Tanja Lucic is now a professor of literature at the University of Amsterdam, where she teaches a class filled with other young Yugoslav exiles, most of whom earn meager wages assembling leather and rubber S&M clothing at a sweatshop they call the Ministry. Abandoning literature, Tanja encourages her students to indulge their Yugonostalgia in essays about their personal experiences during their homeland's cultural and physical disintegration. But Tanja's act of academic rebellion incites the rage of one renegade member of her class--and pulls her dangerously close to another--which, in turn, exacerbates the tensions of a life in exile that has now begun to spiral seriously out of control.

Amazing how fast it works
Item Package Quantity: 1
This works so much better than the prescription cream I got from the doctor. I thought 40% was the highest available. Ease of use and it goes exactly where it's needed. Saw improvements after the second day of use.

Amazing cream to restore cracked skin!!
Item Package Quantity: 1
Cracking of my feet is not the problem. This has been the only cream I found that restores my cuticles!! My right thumb constantly stays dry and ugly. The convenience of applying like a ChapStick is wonderful. and allows me to grab and apply frequently. My cuticle has finally become soft and pretty. :) (Highly recommend)

Absolutely great. I’m a repeat buyer.
Absolutely LOVE this toner. My skin is slightly sensitive and this formula NEVER burns my face. Great exfoliation. No tightness or dry areas. Fantastic for the price and just as good or better than name brand or expensive toners. I’m a repeat buyer. Big bottle and lasts a while. I would highly recommend.
