One of the panelist--the polish professor--explains how Grossman's work was overlooked post-war. He's just now becoming known. I've ordered the book, which I have not read.
Right, apparently it wasn't published in Poland until decades later...that was the woman who liked the other famous Russian authors and had just recently discovered Grossman.
I am getting the impression that the prèservation of knowledge is a fragile thing
Boy howdy!
Moral of this story is always make backup copies and store them in remote locations.
I hope substack writers are doing this!
Wow, what an exciting story! I am listening to the long version panel discussion;
