From Marshall Berman All that is Solid Melts into Air, with a gorgeous chapter on Gogol and modernity, I must read Dead Souls. From Dead Souls, keep the flame alive, I must read a Gogol bio. Turns out Nobokov wrote one of the most freewheeling lit bios ever…

Some pairing these are making, the masculine violence study, which I didn’t expect, in Topeka and its scathing critique, which totally checks out, from Woolf. Both are brilliant btw. #booksky #virginiawoolf #benlerner
