Mark Krotov Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Mark Krotov

I interviewed Thane Gustafson about the recent history of oil and gas in Russia—and what the industry's post-sanctions future might look like. Everyone should read Gustafson's books, especially the amazing Wheel of Fortune. https://t.co/klkG2xSLGS

I too was inspired by the "novel" How to Blow Up a Pipeline (via @johnpmerrick) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10599537/The-Swedish-academic-inspired-eco-zealots-campaign-targeting-hundreds-SUVs-UK.html https://t.co/5PgUoWBz54

Happy publication day to the great @fzpacifico! The Women I Love (translated by Elizabeth Harris) is a sly and wise and beautiful book. https://shop.nplusonemag.com/products/the-women-i-love-by-francesco-pacifico

. . . And Veronica Raimo’s Lost on Me (translated by @fromtheitalian), coming soon from @groveatlantic. I’ve loved Raimo’s work for a long time, and it’s a thrill to have her in the print magazine at last. https://t.co/d7mz6BVA9U

"He cleared away a vast edifice of selective memory and self-justification." Really good @keithgessen foreword to Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, out today from @VersoBooks in @IanDreiblatt's translation. https://t.co/co9I85kfyh

"He takes no prisoners, in other words—he knows what he’s up against, and he spits it in the eye." @MichaelSctMoore on Vladimir Sorokin's prophetic Day of the Oprichnik (@fsgbooks, 2011), more relevant than ever. https://t.co/aANw9HF8qD
