Description

Show Notes:


This week, Cameron dives solo into two books: Tolstoy, Rasputin, Others, and Me by Teffi and In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O’Brien. He’ll pull apart their authors’ mutual love for taking a creative license to their own lives.


Major themes: Emotional truth, social expectations, Vietnam


The interview with Tim O’Brien I read from.


The documentary on My Lai I mentioned.


Seymour Hersh’s article on My Lai 


The music used in this episode was “Старое Кино / Staroye Kino,” by Перемотка / Peremotka. You can find more of their work on Bandcamp and Youtube
