I have been reading Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the Dark which felt very timely (though, to allow a moment of nihilism- also always timely!)
These are lovely
I had a very successful reading month, to my great surprise. (I also really enjoyed Disappoint Me by Nicola Dinan). Suspect I will end up rereading all three of these.
If anyone is free tomorrow evening, I am speaking at the Reconsidering Soviet Studies seminar series in Cambridge about depictions of "gypsy" characters in late Soviet youth cinema.
It is a hybrid event, please message me for the Zoom link if you would like to join online.
I think the fact that it has taken me 8 months to finish these books (on average) says something about how little I have been reading for the last year or so.
