14 June 2010. Tachanka, a teaching thereof. Gruff words and military terms-- Makhno and Budyonny, names from a stubbled past. The ruts and gullies of a burned countryside, where "ruined churches glow on the hills" and "narrow-shouldered Jews hover sadly at crossroads..."
A gift from my teacher--Carl Proffer, perhaps more than he realized, the quick pencil checks to the left of particular stories--Pan Apolek, the Road to Brody, My First Goose...
Read these--they are your life...
