Hello webmates!Newsletter for friends is now morphed to Linkteresting, which is exactly what it sounds like. Below are some notable things I’ve read, written, and consumed this month. Click links you’re curious about—that’s what the Web...
Just read Andrey Kurkov, The Silver Bone, trans. Boris Dralyuk (HarperCollins, 2024). This is the first of Kurkov’s Kyiv Mysteries, and I might be hooked. It’s set in the late winter and early spring of 1919, a perilous time to be alive...
