Dear reader,
I have some news: On March 25 I will have an essay published by another Substack account called “The Black Sheep“: “Once Upon a Time in Communist Romania.“ In it: rural Southern Romania in the 70s; living, going to school and learning French in a small town in Communism; being married to a dissident; immigrating to America after the fall of Communism. Stay tuned!
In this issue: two book reviews—one in English, about “The Story Smuggler” (2024) by the Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov, winner of the International Booker Prize; et l’autre en français, “Manie épistolaire. Lettres inédites d’Emil Cioran (1931-1991).“ Editées de Nicolas Cavaillès (2024). Please subscribe to my YouTube channel for reviews!
