Sorry I am going to miss you at UST! I had originally thought I could visit a friend for a week and attend the nighttime events (including your reading), however, family matters and other duties have made it necessary that I be in Boston as much as possible. I was able to spend a week in Blowing Rock, NC at a literary retreat discussing The Brothers Karamazov. It was somewhat cold and rainy. Damping for outside fellowship opportunities but definitely creating an appropriate somber and reflective ambiance for the novel. I have done a lot of reading thus far, but I will likely just share all that in my next Substack post because I don't want to go on and on in your comm box! Love seeing your posts when they come up. Wishing you a prolific literary summer!
Zina, thanks for letting me know; sorry we'll miss you in Houston, but I know family comes first! Your NC retreat sounds amazing. I love your description of it. Can't wait to hear what you are getting into on the page -- loved your recent post on the role of illness in Dostoyevsky's character epiphanies -- please keep bringing us more of the same, & thanks for your kind words and good wishes!
