It's a great read and you would love it.
My third one is Naples 44 by Norman Lewis.
Norman Lewis was a British intelligence officer who was sent to Naples when the Germans had been beaten out of there.
And he was sent there to find out whether there were nascent fascist groups still working in Naples.
And he kept a diary.
And this is the most fabulous diary you'll ever read.
It's just...
Both hilariously funny, deeply moving, and totally confusing.
And you realize that Naples was like another planet.
It's like reading sci-fi, some of it.
The strangeness of that little world of Naples with its intertwining of...
deep religiosity, deep criminality, deep love of the senses, incredible attention to food, weird decaying aristocracies all woven in with crooks and priests and so on.
So there's three books.
And I just want to suggest one other thing, which is a subscription to the London Review of Books.
probably the best intellectual reading in the english language i i think it's amazing comes out every two weeks and it's if you're interested in books the london review of books for me beats the new york review of books or the times literary supplement or any of those things
Okay, I can respond to that.
One that really made a huge impression on me was a Folkways record called The Rural Folk Blues.
And they were sort of semi-field recordings.
Some of them were actually records that had been made.
But they all dated from the 20s, 30s, and 40s.
