Tolstoy Together

You know how very occasionally in your life there's a 'before and after' reading experience? Well reading <em>War and Peace</em> with <em>Tolstoy Together</em> has been that for me--<strong>a milestone not just in reading but in living.</strong>--Michael Langan <p/> From the acclaimed author of <em>Dear Friend from My Life I Write to You in Your Life</em> a book about the art of reading. In <em>Tolstoy Together: 85 Days of War and Peace </em> Yiyun Li invites you to travel with her through Tolstoy's novel--and with fellow readers around the world who joined her for an online book club and an epic journey during a pandemic year. <p/> I've found that the more uncertain life is Yiyun Li writes the more solidity and structure War and Peace provides. <em>Tolstoy Together</em> expands the epic novel into a rich conversation about literature and ways of reading with contributions from Garth Greenwell Elliott Holt Carl Phillips Tom Drury Sara Majka Alexandra Schwartz and hundreds of fellow readers. <p/> Along with Yiyun Li's daily reading journal and a communal journal with readers' reflections--with commentary on craft and technique historical context and character studies <em>Tolstoy Together: 85 Days of War and Peace</em> includes a schedule and framework providing a daily motivating companion for Tolstoy's novel and a reading practice for future books. <p/>
