The Great Books Discussion Group will read Confessions of a Fallen Standard Bearer. Andrei Makine (1957-) was born in Siberia and grew up in the city of Penza. He received his doctorate from Moscow University. In 1987, Makine was granted political asylum in France, later becoming the first writer to receive three prestigious literary awards and is often compared to Chekhov and Proust. Confessions of a Fallen Standard Bearer provides glimpses into Russia during WW II and the Cold War. Join us on Thursday, May 13th, via Zoom. Contact Patrick Carey at 770-241-2511 for details.
