I was right, defining you as an Erudite in my recommendations on my Substack.

I don’t know about that it is well above my pay grade. I just live in a place with an inordinate pile of books and am writing a travelogue through the library with commentary on that which I fictionalize.

Oh, it's very interesting ,because I had almost the same idea writing about my Russian authors in my home library, which we brought from Russia. But I don't think I have a lot of time left in my age to raise such a huge, though lovely, burden. Yet, I am finishing an essay about Aleksandr Blok, but not sure, who wii be interested in this symbolist-poet.

An interesting man, I read a few of his poems. Another man who committed suicide.

Blok didn't commit suicide but died at age of 41 because of prolong hunger and ban on his medical trip to Finland's sanatorium which was only one hour from St. Petersburg.

I stand corrected.

Oh, I am corrected now. I lost my article about Blok yesterday when I was ready to publish it on Substack. Now, it is somewhere in the clouds.

And now, you are right: I will publish about poet Sergei Esenin, who committed suicide.
