My personal Substack
I was born, raised, and educated in Soviet Russia. I graduated from Leningrad University with a Master's in Russian language and Literature.
In 1980, my family escaped the USSR, and we are now living in New Jersey.
A periodic sharing about the Story Carrier Movement. We are all carrying stories whether we know them, or not. I share ways to bring stories into being, through language, where we can celebrate and enjoy them.
Musings about translation, my bread, and what I find interesting and no less vital, the roses.
Admiring, mooning over, loving, and learning to write stunning sentences
Slow reads of great books. Book guides and a reading community to help you get more from the best stories.
Exploring what it means to travel through time in a human body, at every phase of life.
