My experience of Kovalevska has been mixed, but the oddness of this portrayal I still find inexplicable. I'm also still easily reduced to swooning by reflections on Finley's Count, though. So there's that.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549302523503271428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665236978084294968.post-40294907902104912332012-11-17T09:22:32.884-05:002012-11-17T09:22:32.884-05:00Sounds like a strange evening.
