New Florence reader,
I’m pleased and proud to inform you that my fellow Substack writer Felix Purat and I have agreed to add three more collaborative writing series to the one last Fall about Vasily Grossman, which I hope you enjoyed and found worthwhile.
The first, in the first half of June, will be about the man who is arguably the leading living writer of my generation (GenX born 1961 to 1982), Dave Eggers.
The second, in late July or early August, will probably be just one piece by each of us about Boris Pasternak and his novel Doctor Zhivago (and maybe the classic film).
And then this Fall, Felix and I will take on a true colossus of literature and attempt to do him justice. Aleksandr Solzhenitszyn.
We aspire to deliver something to you of real value in these three series.
Thank you, Felix. And thanks, reader and community participant, for walking along with us on this journey,
Mike
Wow! Looking forward to it!
Thank you Mike for proposing them! I look forward to giving justice to these literary greats!
