	Hole in the Flag by Andrei Codrescu
		The Hole in the Flag is Andrei Codrescu's personal account of the fall of a tyrannical regime, and the exhilaration of a country reborn.
		From the Orient Express to his childhood haunts in Bucharest and Sibiu, we follow Codrescu as he chronicles the insurrection—from the battlefield villages where the revolution was supposedly fought to the television studio where the revolution was won, and then stolen.
		Codrescu uncovers the chilling realities behind the "democratic" transformation of this history-haunted corner of Europe, a cynical deception that has largely misled hearts and minds around the world.

	Reviews for Andrei Codrescu
		Andrei Codrescu's WAKEFIELD is unremittingly coruscating and immensely subversive, in short, a brilliant comic novel that will give you a fresh look at the homeland.
		Codrescu presents Casanova as representative of an old world order that is slipping away, as the ideas that gave rise to the American and French revolutions are radically changing the political, social, and cultural landscape of Europe.
		Codrescu, with the deadpan burlesque of a jaded outsider, rightfully assumes his place among the keener chroniclers of the American spirit, 1990s style.

	NPR : Poet on Call
		Codrescu suggests that she star in a movie soon, because she looks like a cross between an icy Hitchcock blonde and a silent-movie era comedienne.
		Codrescu says the script could reveal Zaorski as a spy who is condemned to death by a military court.
		Commentator Andrei Codrescu says those "Before" and "After" times get their sense of separation from the size of the event.

	Amazon.ca: Ay, Cuba! : A Socio-Erotic Journey: Books: Andrei Codrescu,David Graham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		What surprised Codrescu and Graham most about the Cubans was their candor: They spoke of their nation with a mix of pride, hopelessness, and amusement--a major contrast to Codrescu's experience in post-Communist Romania back in 1989.
		Codrescu and his gang?a photographer, an NPR producer and a former Nicaraguan revolutionary?encounter street hustlers, prostitutes, visionary bureaucrats, Santeria practitioners, good and bad food, plenty of cigars and lots of rum as they peel away the Travel & Leisure veneer to discover the real Cuba.
		Codrescu is a good writer with a wonderful sense of humor but, MAN, does he have strong opinions for somebody who spent less than two weeks in the country.

	Writer Andrei Codrescu donates literary works to U. of I. Library
		Andrei Codrescu, the prolific poet-novelist-essayist and widely recognized radio celebrity, has given his collection of Romanian books, periodicals, films and other materials to the Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
		Codrescu gave his collection to Illinois because he recognized it as an “institution of strength” in terms of Slavic materials after a visit to the campus in 2004.
		One of the things Codrescu laments about his adopted country is the loss of personal stories – “Our own individual stories.” He calls it one of the saddest things about the contemporary world and blames the problem partly on television.

	Codrescu, Andrei Criticism and Essays
		Romanian-born poet Andrei Codrescu is celebrated for his spare, proto-surrealistic verse, his keen observation of contemporary culture, his affection for his adopted homeland, and his mastery of American idiom.
		Although Codrescu's poetry has been influenced by Romanian avantgardists such as poet and essayist Tristan Tzara (whose name Codrescu has used as a pseudonym) and dramatist Eugene Ionesco, it has also been compared to the works of American poets Walt Whitman and William Carlos Williams.
		Codrescu is a professor at Louisiana State University and lives with his wife Alice and two children.

	Current.org \| Codrescu has some regrets, but NPR has more
		NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu was not exactly penitent about a remark that offended fundamentalist Christians over the holidays, although NPR has apologized for his comment.
		Codrescu's Dec. 19 All Things Considered commentary derided the belief, held by some Christians, that at world's end all those who are "saved" will ascend immediately to Heaven and the rest of the population will suffer Armageddon and wind up in Hell.
		Reading from a pamphlet he was handed on the street, Codrescu said that believers in the "rapture" predict that more than 4 million people will depart in less than a fifth of a second.

	Moonbattery: Andrei Codrescu Versus ALA on Cuban Libraries
		Codrescu was the keynote speaker at the ALA's Midwinter Meeting.
		Much to the chagrin of ALA President Michael Gorman, he used the opportunity to hold the organization's feet to the fire regarding its lack of support for underground or "independent" libraries in Cuba, a place where traditional libraries aren't going to carry anything that isn't approved by the totalitarian State.
		Although Codrescu maintains that the ALA didn't try to tell him what to say in his keynote address, Gorman pouts that he did not deliver the speech he told ALA apparatchiks he would.

	Andrei Codrescu: The Disappearance of the Outside
		Codrescu's unique vantage point—expatriate of totalitarian post—Stalinist Romania and astute critic of the totalistic superficiality of modern America—gives the narration its delicious irony.
		And we felt certain that the unique insights of a social critic such as Andrei Codrescu could help us to understand some of the cultural factors which contribute to the epidemic blurring of what we feel are crucially important distinctions.
		It is a profound and intricately reasoned indictment of contemporary Western society, in which the cultural economy of the capitalist West is shown to be as oppressively destructive to the human spirit as were the Orwellian regimes of the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc under which he grew up.

		Indeed, part of Codrescu’s project here is the negotiation of past architecture (literary, psychological and physical) as it butts horns with the desires of the autonomous artist.
		That said, the project is an unwieldy one and Codrescu does not shy away from its complexities.
		Of his hero, Codrescu writes, “He’s convinced that though reality may be a construct, it’s built on something else, something authentic, and that he can discover it.” Here’s hoping.

		A decade after achieving cult success with the small, quirky documentary Road Scholar, Codrescu finds himself gathering research and steam to make Big River Blues, an examination of Mississippi Blues particularly suited to the throughlines of the man's life and life's work: poetry, geography, and the dislocation of the disenfranchised artist.
		Codrescu is compact and vaguely infernal in appearance, his gaze intense from behind small wire-frame glasses, and his voice deep with the command of a practiced public speaker.
		Codrescu offers a slight pause after every question--the mark of a thinker who understands the importance of choosing his words carefully.
