from Ana Cristina Alvarez, author of Support:
Everything Flows by Vasily Grossman
This concise, traumatic (and unfinished) story follows Ivan, a man who has spent the greater part of his life in the Soviet gulags, as he returns home upon the death of Stalin. The reader follows Ivan’s slow steps back into the world, where he is confronted by those complicit in the regime and becomes an unlikely support to those confessing their actions.
How have I not read anything by Camus? And, also, who is the god of the absurd?
I love you.
But I haven’t won any awards. Only the books I worked on. Their authors are award-winning and I get to bask in their sunlight! 
Details, details.
So noted.
Oh. I read “The Stranger” and “The Plague.” Loooong time ago.
I want to say I saw Camus on your bookshelf. Or maybe we just discussed him.
Update: I am now in possession of “The Stranger.”
