I read his Europe Central last year. It was a challenging read, but I came out of it knowing more about Shostakovich’s (alleged) sex life. And other neat WWII stuff, too.
Wow Bill on the front page! For what it’s worth, he’s the only author who has written me back after I sent him a note through USPS. He’s a fascinating, charitable thinker with a multifaceted oeuvre and this text will be a profound addition to it.

Sounds incredible. Like a lot of his stuff. Also sounds incredibly intimidating.

I didn't know most of this, but eagerly await my pre-order!
