A few days ago, I drove north to Cambridge, Massachussets, covering over seven hundred miles (round trip) of roadway, to attend a Pushkin symposium at Harvard University.
Surely, this was up my very alley...and the daily sessions engaged me, albeit some of them did so randomly.
I set up shop and sold some of our books, mainly the Africa/Russia volume, lunched and dined at the Faculty Club--and had fruitful conversations about Pushkin, literature, Africa, and books, including this one:
Under the Sky of My Africa: Alexander Pushkin and Blackness
by Catherine Nepomnyashchy, Nicole Svobodny (Editor), Ludmilla A. Trigos (Editor)
Worth a look-at, and a read, too, if there is some time.
