We discuss a number of books from Roman's library, including 'Ferdydurke' by Gombrowicz; 'Under the Volcano' by Malcolm Lowry; 'The Mass Psychology of Facism' by William Reich; 'The Letters of Rainer Marie Rilke;' 'Hunger' by Knut Hamsun; and 'The String Quartet' by Paul Griffiths. We also touch upon Masha Gessen, William T. Vollmann, Shostakovich and why Milan Kundera and Paul Auster's stars have faded.
