Andrei Sinyavsky (1925 – 1997), often writing under the pseudonym Abram Terz, was a Russian emigre writer, political prisoner, and Professor at the Sorbonne. Angering the government with his descriptions of the reality of life in Soviet Russia, Terts was arrested in 1965, tried in the infamous Sinyavsky-Daniel show trial (the first Soviet show trial to have writers openly convicted solely for their literary work), and sentenced to seven years on charges of "anti-Soviet activity." Released in 1971, he immigrated to Paris where he continued writing until his death. "Thought Unaware" is a collection of thoughts and aphorisms. Ill.: 0. 2.
