A little taste of some big novels. Brought to you from San Francisco, CA.We stand with Ukraine and are devastated at what has been unfolding in recent months. Please consider donating to humanitarian organizations.

One year ago I left my twenty-something London life behind to start from scratch in California. I did it all for love...of literature! As a PhD student at UC Berkeley, I have just one year left to read one hundred Russophone novels, before facing some mammoth Master's exams, and I'm hoping that you might join me for the read! Together we'll explore the fantastical noses of Gogol, the lovelorn Annas and Pierres of Tolstoy, the strange talking cats of Bulgakov, as well as some Chekhovian seagulls for good measure.
