SUMMARY:Victor Serge: The Novels of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:A 10-session class with Richard Greeman\nTuesdays\, 5:30 to 7:30 pm\nOctober 11 – December 13 \nThis Fall we plan to read three novels by the Franco-Russian writer and revolutionary Victor Serge. The period covered (1933-1941) begins with Serge’s arrest by the GPU and deportation to the Urals (the setting of the novel Midnight in the Century)\, continues through the Moscow Trials and the Civil War in Spain (the background to Serge’s fictional Case of Comrade Tulayev)\, and ends with the Fall of France  (experienced by Serge and fictionalized in The Long Dusk). The group is open to all\, and no prerequisite familiarity with Serge is expected. \nRichard Greeman is best known for his studies and translations of novelist and revolutionary Victor Serge (1890-1947). Greeman also writes regularly about politics\, international class struggles and revolutionary theory. Co-founder of the Praxis Research and Education Center in Moscow\, and director of the International Victor Serge Foundation\, Greeman splits his time between Montpellier\, France and New York City. \n10 session class: $95 / $110 / $125\nno one turned away for inability to pay

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.
