  • Great idea

    Such a great idea for a podcast.

    I have just read The Librarian of Auschwitz and wanted to talk about it/listen to more discussion of it.

    I will keep listening but so far my suggestion is that I would like to hear some more discussion of the text about the themes /ideas, characters etc and maybe connections to other texts (if any).
