I did indeed read this whole thing front to back

[Katie Kacher]

Interesting revolutionary texts. Olaudah Equiano’s narrative was very good. Great poetry - De Castro impressed me. Of course my fav section was “Realism Across the World” - Dostoyevsky, Flaubert (a simple heart), Tolstoy, Machado, and Chekhov were wonderful. Orature/folktale section was cool too.
