Conference: The Pain of Words: Narratives of Suffering in Slavic Cultures (May 9-11, 2008, Princeton)

[Robert Chandler]

I had not realized that Daniel Rancour-Laferriere, or anyone else, had
implied that these writers are all THEMSELVES masochists.  I had imagined
R-L mentioned these writers because he thought that some of them, at least,
had something interesting to say ABOUT masochism.
