A remarkable two-book volume: Diary of A Hunger Striker, the first-hand account of celebrated Crimean filmmaker Oleh Sentsov, jailed unfairly as a political prisoner, during his 144 day-long hunger strike in a Russian prison; and Four and a Half Steps, his newest collection of short stories.Sentsov's prison diary begins three days into his indefinite hunger strike, as he calls for the release of all political prisoners in Russia. Frank, sharp, and detailed, the diary recounts day after day of observations and thoughts about his daily life, from interactions with guards, police officers good and bad, to his thoughts on fellow writers and the world outside his cell. Despite moral pressure and exhaustion, Sentsov's records display his diligence and objective eye as filmmaker and activist.
