I'm finally back from my day, gazelling about the universe, and stopped by my favorite library to check out and bring home a few books, to read during the holidays. I found two at the library and one is on the way: I had to order it on an inter-library loan because not many people ordinarily want to read it, but I do.
Czeslaw Milosz: Legends of Modernity (1996; trans. in 2005), A Treatise On Poetry (begun in the winter of 1955, finished by spring of 1956; published and trans., in 2001), and The Captive Mind (1953; trans: Vintage International; NY, NY: 1990).
Here's an interesting article (LINK), authored by Tony Judt, concerning Milosz' book, The Captive Mind, which appeared in The New York Review of Books (September 30th, 2010 issue).
