I just finished re-reading SLOVAKIA: Fall in the Heart of Europe. Thank you, Marek Bennett, for writing such a tender, thoughtful book. You area comforting narrator amid all the craziness. Re-reading it now, after all the recent events around the rise of white supremacist fascism here in the US, is even more relevant, and more themes come together in the book that I have new perspective on since the first time when it came out. All the layers of political unrest, past movements, racial violence, found amidst feeling for nuts with your feet, going to the church to draw, teaching drawing at an after school program, looking for what is missing.
I know it must feel like a million years ago that you wrote SLOVAKIA. I just wanted to thank you again for all that work. Isn't it amazing how books work like that? They keep going. I guess its the whole point.
