Mariana Ou replied to the topic SCW + Catalan referendum in the news in the discussion
Spanish Civil War Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 7 months agoHello Anne, I’ve just joined the group so the reply comes very late. I have read The Winterlings and loved it. It’s really my type of fiction. Have you read it in the end?
