SUMMARY:Victor Serge Read-In Day
DESCRIPTION:A Victor Serge Sunday at the Brooklyn Commons\nFeaturing Mitch Abidor\, Mallory Brooks\, Silvia Federici\, Jenny Greeman\, Richard Greeman and Christopher Winks\nComplete with a Serge Book Fair and other participation of Serge’s American publishers\, Haymarket Books\, New York Review Books and PM Press \n“Victor Serge died in exile and obscurity\, apparently no more than a splinter of a splinter in the Marxist movement. But with the passage of the years\, he looms up as one of the great moral figures of our time\, an artist of such integrity and a revolutionary of such purity as to overshadow those who achieved fame and power. His failure was his success. I know of no participant in Russia’s revolution and Spain’s agonies who more deserves the attention of our concerned youth.”  – I. F. Stone \n2:00 pm: Talks and Discussion:\nVictor Serge: Revolution and its Illusions by Mitchell Abidor\, translator of Serge’s Anarchists Never Surrender (PM Press) and Notebooks (NYRB Classics). Serge’s autobiography bears the title Memoirs of a Revolutionary (a title he didn’t choose)\, but at the beginning and end of his political life he posed serious questions about the efficacy of revolution and revolutionary activity. Inspired by Serge’s article “The Revolutionary Illusion\,” Mitch Abidor will examine this aspect of Serge’s thought. \nVictor Serge’s Novels of Resistance by Richard Greeman\, Serge  scholar\, translator and prefacer of five Serge novels (NYRB Classics\, PM Press) \nVictor Serge and the Poetics of Revolutionary Memory by Christopher Winks\, (Comparative Literature\, Queens College\, CUNY). A discussion of Serge’s poetry as a prolonged elegy for the fallen —“the cortège of his executed brothers” —and an affirmation of love and hope amidst the darkness of world counter-revolution. \n3:30 pm: SERGE READ-IN:  Pick your favorite Serge passage and join with other fans including Sylvia Federici (feminist writer)\, Christopher Winks\, Melody Brooks and Jenny Greeman\, New Perpectives Theater) who will be reading their own favorites and discussing them.
