    • Recommends Motherland
      Uh, and the third book is Julia Ioffe's, uh, Motherland, which was a National Book Award finalist, an old friend of mine, also Soviet-born, uh, Moscow to My Leningrad and it's a book about uh, what the Soviet, you know, the Soviet Union was ostensibly this feminist progressive society, but guess what?

    • Recommends A Tender Age
      Uh, A Tender Age I think is the name of the book. There was an excerpt in The New Yorker. This I think is his most, um, memoiristic novel. I think a lot of his own background goes into this. He meant so much to me both as a teacher and as a friend and as a sensualist. He is as sensual as one gets living in Northern California. He's incredible.

Where they publish

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
