Lovely exchange. Somehow, it never came to my mind, that our personal correspondence can be discussed on the public platform. I thought it is a place for the literary correspondence of our literary genesises, like Dostoevsky and Turgenev, or more modern, like Sylvia Plath and her poet husband, which brought her to suicide.

Anything goes here, Larisa! Maybe one day we'll read your own correspondences? Thank you for reading and leaving a comment. 🙂

You will, but in the other form, in the form of my memoir. You are right. It will be a personal correspondence. Sorry, my mind is always among ,mostly, Russian poets and their tragedies. Soon, i finish with them and land on our soil.

Ah, snail mail! You are reviving why we write letters and why they get saved.

I love this so much. Two of my favourite people connecting over two of my favourite things, reading and writing. I also love the title. You are doing an exceptional job of pulling out awesome titles from the letters. Looking forward to the next instalment!
