Why read it?

Imagine encapsulating the essence of the founding literature of the United States into a prose poem. That's Unaccompanied Sonata.

After reading this story, I understood how governments sometimes not only strip man of his freedom (always in the name of "the good of the people") but can also transform our greatest freedom-advocating voices into the merciless guards of an open-air intellectual prison.

This story left me with no answers. It left me with something better: a deep conviction about the necessity for us to invent better systems of governance.
