Cameron covers some necessary background information for an upcoming episode about Frederick Wisemanâs 2002 film âThe Last Letter,â which dramatizes a chapter of Vassily Grossmanâs Life and Fate.
This week, Cameron takes on the back half of Andrei Platonovâs Chevengur, covering chapters 25-43. As our characters finally arrive in the town of Chevengur, we go from a picaresque romp around the newly-Soviet countryside into the dirty work of actually building Communism.
