I Never Danced in a Ring

Milan Cundere was hot property in the 19 eighties when we loved all things check, but his star has waned since then. The most likely explanation is that our times have grown too conformable to stomach him. It's an elegy to the false hope of those who long to lose themselves and merge with others. He writes elegiically about a soulless phenomenon he calls circle dancing - young people coming together in an act of political resistance. Their ces lit by innocence like those of children. I too once danced in a ring.
