Comments on: Copenhagen and Christmas; Carnival of Socialism #45 http://thoughcowardsflinch.com/2009/12/18/copenhagen-and-christmas-carnival-of-socialism-45/ "We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down" - Aneurin Bevan, 1953 Mon, 28 May 2012 18:49:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ResoluteReader http://thoughcowardsflinch.com/2009/12/18/copenhagen-and-christmas-carnival-of-socialism-45/#comment-4194 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 13:10:01 +0000 http://thoughcowardsflinch.com/?p=1747#comment-4194 Thanks for the mention. If you enjoy Life and Fate, as I am sure you will, be sure to read “Writer at War”. This is an edited collection of Vasily Grossman’s notebooks from his experiences with the Red Army. Many of the accounts and stories make it into Life and Fate (as well as his other novels). It’s a fascinating insight into Grossman’s life, as well as the horror of the Eastern Front. His account of Treblinka and the pograms is particularly shocking. It’s edited by Antony Beevor and Luba Vinogradova.

I was rather hoping you would host one of the upcoming Carnivals, particularly if Kasama defaults (though I’ve dropped them a message – am awaiting reply).

For the record, an excellent review that led to me purchasing a great book (if you have some basic theological vocabulary up your sleeve) is this one http://newhumanist.org.uk/2151/atheism-in-christianity-by-ernst-bloch

And now I have to read Life and Fate as well!
