My name is elmira bay wasle and were lucky enough do be here today with suzy hansen, the author othe book notes on a foreign country an american in post american world, and suzy is a contributing writer at the New York Times magazine and she currently is living in istanbul. Suzy, in trying to describe this book to a number of different people, i always kind of find myself stumbling over it because i think its many books in one. I think its a book about you going abroad as an american into 2007, live is stan ball, living about the muslim world and turkey and the surrounding region. Its a book about that region, but its also very much a book that is very relevant today as we see things over the summer that we have seen with charlottesville, things in our own country with the election of donald ....
First of all thank you everybody for being here. I am sure you hear authors all the time. Writing is a lonely job and so there is really Nothing Better than sitting in front of people who read your work and are interested in it. It is rare that i write mostly for a pakistani audience. I am a columnist for the largest newspaper and the genesis of this book was in my interactions he would write to me every week sometimes in response to the columns. Its difficult in the United States to get people interested in a book on pakistan. I was talking earlier to my friend and he was saying you know if you have a title that says the more tired tired than anyone else that you can sell a book about pakistan but a book about the city im from karachi and seen through the eyes of women is a harder sell so its so encouraging to see everybody here. You know i envision this book as a way to intr ....
Of course lenin. Stalin was able to find specific quotations in londons work. Sometimes he had little pieces of white paper to help them find the quotes. Often he knew the quotes from memory. He knows a lot about the outside world but to return to an earlier point he was sophisticated and blinkered at the same time. So talk about fascism as finance capital. He has a very unsophisticated analysis of fascism. It filtered through his marxist worldview that is related to class and class struggle. This is not a sophisticated analysis. At the same time he had a very sophisticated analysis of behavior and what we would call and how other states use any means necessary. But you know theres a seriousness and a comical quality to the dictatorship at the same time. Here they are a poor country wracked by war revolution and civil war undergoing famine barely able to recover telling the outside world that they are the future and the outside world is going to do disappear and desperately needing tra ....
Figure him out . Were going to do it through his very close comrades, those who lived and worked with him and kind of see what they had to say about him. This is not an easy task because around stalin there are many lies. There are lies that stalin told about himself, there are lies they regime told about him in official propaganda. There are lies his enemies who survived somehow and fled abroad into immigration told about him. And then there are the fantastic stories made up about him and what he call the biographies of stalin. So there is a lot of junk surrounding him, and so you kind of have to work through. Its sort of like the ship that has been in port too long and you get out the scraper and begin to scrape the barnacles off the man, stalin to try to see if you can get back to this process of his evolution as a person. So let me give you one example of Something Like this. In the spring and summer of 1923, spring and summer ....
