'A gentle giant', as the Goncourts called him, Turgenev surfaced from the barbarous yet doting rules of a terrible mom, whose cruelties to her serfs are in the center of his hatred of serfdom. He was high in femininity and may not write unless he was in love. When he freed himself from his mom, he became enslaved by the famous Spanish vocalist, Pauline Viardot, hitched to a Frenchman. He was heir to great estates, a confident Westerner, proud to be both Western and deeply Russian, and one of the very most civilized men of his time. That is his report. Victor Sawdon Pritchett (1900-1997) was born over a toyshop in 1900 and, much to his everlasting distaste, was called after Queen Victoria. A writer and critic, his is broadly respected to be one of the better short story writers of all time, with the exceptional ability to capture the amazing strangeness of day-to-day life. He passed away in 1997.
