Probably one of the most detailed primers on these writers I've found. The author spends a lot of time with Malatesta, which I can't fault her for and actually appreciate. I look foward to the next subject receiving such laser focus.
Reviews and Comments
I had a prior acount to keep myself accountable toward reading more. Life happened and I forgot my username and password. So here I am, starting from scratch. I drive truck, so lately I have been getting into audio books, when I run out of podcasts and get bored with music. It's been ten years since I have read much fiction. I read a book every Sunday with my niece over a meeting app to help her improve her english reading and vocabulary. I used to write and will again someday. The end.

Basil_Bub reviewed The truth about stories by Thomas King (The Massey lectures series)
A must read
5 stars
I just reread this book out loud with my neice (switching off every two pages) after reading it on my own maybe three times before. There are various points that I cried this time. It's timeless in the sense that nothing has really materially gotten better since the lectures and the book in the past 24 years. I don't remember when I first picked this book up but I do believe it is one of the most important books that I have read in my life.

One of the first books I read with my niece over a meeting app. She really enjoyed this as well as the second book in the series.

A hard book to get a hold of but worth it.

This book covers in brief most of whats known about a historically overlooked figure of the revolutionary period of Ukraine. It can unfortunately be read in one sitting, but hopefully with the discovery of her diaries some mysteries about an anarchist who did much in such a tragically short life shall be researched further.

A concise biography of an often overlooked figure in the revolutionary period of Ukraine. I defenitely hope that further work will be done once Nikiforova's diaries are researched.
