suddenly, more insight into eric’s personality: when he was little his mom read him ‘one day in the life of ivan denisovich’. when he was little. ‘ivan denisovich’.
wha?
(if you haven’t read that book – by alexander solzenhitsyn – you should. it’s fantastic. i think i have my copy here in chicago if anyone wants to borrow it.)
This remains to be confirmed! I know she read me some kind of bleak winter in Siberia story (in addition to bleak winter in the USA stories like “Little House…” and all that) but I dunno if it was definitely “One day in the life…” That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was =)
