This book by Olga Grushin came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Katherine de Kleer. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
After losing his job and the respect of his family, Russian avant-garde artist Anatoly Sukhanov confronts his past in a series of dreams that reveals the sacrifices he has made to gain material wealth in twentieth-century Moscow.
“she wrote this just phenomenal book called the dream life of sukhinov that i read this year maybe it was last year”— Katherine de Kleer
The guest here is Katherine de Kleer: Professor of planetary science and astronomy at Caltech who studies the surfaces, atmospheres, and thermochemical histories of planets and moons. She uses telescopes to observe volcanoes on Io, atmospheres on Titan, and other solar system objects. A Caltech planetary scientist explains why moons may be more exciting than planets, and where life might hide in our solar system.
