Two cold ones for next time: Nechayev’s “Catechism of a Revolutionist” and excerpts from Eldridge Cleaver’s Soul on Ice. For the Cleaver, read the introduction and the first two letters—“On Becoming” and “Soul on Ice” (pp. xi-xv and 3-25)

One more week of Fathers and Sons. We didn’t finish it last time, so just go from wherever you’re at to the end.

We’ll finish Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons, going from Ch. 18 (p. 66) to the end. Hope to see ya there.

Dropped the baby. A few of us have been out of town most of this past week and so, as you see, in my preoccupations I did not post. We’ll record this as a ‘week off’ in order to spare me the guilt. Convening again next Tuesday, August 13th to read Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons, from the top to Ch. 18, stopping at p. 66. Apologies if you showed up tonight expecting a discussion — perhaps one happened anyway! See you soon.
