LOOKING FORWARD WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION A. SHILEIKA'S INTRODUCTION OF LAIMONAS BRIEDIS' 'Vilnius: City of Strangers" - academic dry disertation of 400 pages- turned into- halved jewel of reading.
If there is a historical CITY WORTH VISITING in Europe left... IT IS VILNIUS ...AT LEISURE.

I would love to find a transcipt for one of the Proust interviews. I can't find a link here. Also I would like to know the definition of a 'Proust Interview' or questionnaire.

On todays show there was a mention of a book that I became very interested in. The book was one that was part the traveling book segment with/by Antanas. I had thought that I correctly copied down the title as "The River Bones" by a Linus...but I wrote while driving. The book was about a scientist intent to study primates but he looses his desire and finds himself interested in a frog species...do you know the book? Non-fiction, took place in South America.
Thanks,
Incapable of multi-multi-tasking, Kris.
