Summer in Baden-Baden (Faber Editions): 'a Miracle' - Susan Sontag | 
I picked this up from the library a couple of weeks ago, my eye initially being attracted to the Faber Editions styling, as I've enjoyed the other books I've read in that imprint. I was encouraged, also, by my cursory scan of the blurb making comparisons to Dostoevsky, which if only 50% hyperbolic would be positive. Now I've taken it up to read, I see that it's a dual timeline novel, part fictionalisation of Dostoevsky's disastrous honeymoon,👇🏻
Bookwomble ... part fictionalisation of the research into Dostoevsky's life by the author, a Russian-Jewish writer living in the Soviet Union. Sounds like a barrel of laughs! 🫠 (edited) 3d
