Reading Schedule: The Case of Comrade Tulayev

[Ken]

Welcome, Comrades, to what's deemed to be "the finest work of fiction ever written about the Stalinist purges... a classic twentieth-century tale of risk, adventure, and unexpected nobility to set beside Ernie Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls and André Malraux's Man's Fate."

We will split this book in half, chapter-wise, with the following schedule:


WEEK ONE (June 15--June 22) Discuss Chapters 1-5 (have materials read up to p. 168 if in the NYRB paperback edition).

WEEK TWO (June 23--30) Discuss Chapters 6-10 (end of book).

See you on the Ides of June.
