Trotsky · Monday February 22, 2010 by Julie

We have been listening to Barbara Kingsolver’s The Lacuna on tape.

Leon Trotsky appears, kindly and avuncular. Since then, his name has been coming up all over the place. You can read his charming and bloody autobiography here.

Arthur Ransome, author of the very nice Swallows and Amazons, married Trotsky’s secretary (eventually).

We’ve been listening to iTunesU and found a Christopher Hitchins discussion on Trotsky.

And, finally, his name has been linked with koalas.
