pickThe dissidents of 1960-1970s USSR were a small, complex, intelligent, and ambitious group. Nathans breaks down the individual personalities as well as the statistics of the groups. He doesn't pull his punches in regard to the blind eye shown to women in the movement or the glaring intensity focused upon those with Jewish ancestry. Beautifully written and thoughtful.
pickThat was pretty good. Just picked up another of her books, Lark & Termite, at a used book sale today, so hopefully, it's as decent a read as this.

One of my little pleasures, waking up early on a Sunday to make it to my favorite coffee/breakfast place to read before the crowds show up

I heard this author speak at a book event a couple years ago and have been meaning to read his book. I own them both... on Mount TBR

Can you name the authors/writers? 🤩
This one usually flies under the radar, but it's excellent. It was a #pulitzerwinner in 1935 and Johnson is the youngest person to win for fiction at 24. Highly recommend.
