Description

Get ready to take a leaf out of Viv Groskop’s life book.Borimir Totev talks (and plays a game) with Viv Groskop, author of 'The Anna Karenina Fix: Life Lessons from Russian Literature', who offers us a number of life fixes for some of the most common and absurd scenarios. Viv has discovered the meaning of life in Russian literature. As she knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened in life has already happened in these novels: from not being sure what to do with your life (Anna Karenina) to being in love with someone who doesn't love you back enough (A Month in the Country by Turgenev) or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov's work).This podcast episode was edited and produced for Pushkin House by Borimir Totev.
