I read his Europe Central last year. It was a challenging read, but I came out of it knowing more about Shostakovich’s (alleged) sex life. And other neat WWII stuff, too. | ||

Wow Bill on the front page! For what it’s worth, he’s the only author who has written me back after I sent him a note through USPS. He’s a fascinating, charitable thinker with a multifaceted oeuvre and this text will be a profound addition to it. | ||

Sounds incredible. Like a lot of his stuff. Also sounds incredibly intimidating. | ||

This article was so exciting to read I stopped in the middle to Google if it was available. It is not... yet. But the release date is this June. https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/arcade-publishing/9781648... | ||
