Phillip Lopate will join us for an “Underread Book Club” discussion of Turgenev’s late masterpiece “Virgin Soil.” When it was published in1877, Turgenev became world famous: a month after it was published 52 young men and women were arrested in Russia on charges of revolutionary conspiracy, and a shocked public in France, Britain, and America turned to the novel for enlightenment.
