Bill, thanks so much! Most of them are in English too, but Catchy.ro is only in Romanian. However, it’s got international contributors, including Alain de Botton, the best-selling expert on Proust. Claudia

Claudia, I trust your judgment on such matters. I’m already a fan of Literary Kicks, so now I’m going to make my rounds to the other salons on your list. This will be fun – a salon crawl!

Michael, thank you so much for your comment! It’s great to hear from you. As you know, I loved your series on Proust; it’s been one of the highlights of Litkicks for me. Claudia

You’re absolutely right, Claudia. Literary Kicks is a salon. I go there for stimulating discussion as well as great articles. The people that gather at LitKicks form a definite community of like and dissenting minds, and the conversation is never dull, just like in the finest French salons of the Belle Epoque.

Thank you for your comment. What an interesting book and blog on Rasputin. It’s true, he has been described as a kind of sociopath, manipulative and with evil designs, so it’s a radically new perspective that you’re presenting. Claudia

Thank you for this, Claudia. It’s really refreshing to read a more intellectual literary blog. There are just so many that consist of you-”like”-my-book-and-I’ll-”like”-yours, with little discussion of actual content or context.
Plus, love your photo.

Thank you as well, Mihaela. I’m so glad to have found Catchy.ro and to contribute articles to it. It offers the best of both worlds: sophistication and accessible information about all the subjects people are interested in today. Claudia

Laura, thanks so much for for the Wikipedia entry! Very interesting. Michel Foucault also discussed the panopticon as a metaphor (and tool) for total control. Claudia
