My review of Billy O'Callaghan's Paperman is out. It is called "Love in the time of Anschluss" and reflects on the relation between "big" and "small" history.

"Mickiewicz began to address his friends in English; 'Dear John' in a letter to Czeczot, 'dear Edward' in a letter to Odyniec. Occasionally, he inserts an English word, for instance 'grief' or 'goddamn the congress of Bolimof' in his later letters."

Mazzini, my soulmate: “I think very often under these radiant skies of the London fogs and always regretfully. Individually speaking, I was evidently intended for an Englishman.” 1849, while drafting the constitution of the Roman Republic (obviously in Rome)

A new review of mine is out!
The book "Intertwining Worlds. Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Cold War Era" deserves attention of everyone researching transnational history, Cold War East-West links and film studies.
