- Arts
I read a lot of books, and here I’ll talk about them. I’m not a professional book reviewer and my book reviews will be spontaneous and unprepared, hence they’ll be a bit unqualified. But I hope that there will still be something useful for you in every episode. Books cover everything I’m interested in, so nonfiction, literary fiction, (auto)biography, and sometimes even poetry.

0010 - Albert Camus: Create Dangerously
In this episode, I talk about a short collection of speeches that Camus gave. The title speech - Create Dangerously - discusses what art has been shaped in the mid-20th century and what artists should do. There wasn’t a huge amount for me in this book, but maybe this review will be useful to you.
