Meeting Tarantyev | Oblomov Group Read | Part 1, Chapter 3

📖 Oblomov Read-Along! 🛋️ Continuing our slow, two-month journey through Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov — one of the most gently profound and subtly hilarious novels in Russian literature. In this series, I’ll be reading and reflecting on the book from two different English translations (Alma Classics by Stephen Pearl and Penguin Classics by David Magarshack), sharing thoughts on the characters, themes, and anything else that comes up — possibly including the occasional interruption from my Bengal cat, Willow. This video looks at chapter two and the play-like scenes as different callers stop by and try to persuade Oblomov to leave his house. 🗓 Reading Schedule (May–June 2025): We’ll be taking our time — no rush! You can follow along with the schedule I mention in the video, or go at your own pace. 🖊️ Sign up for the read-along here: https://camscampbellreads.substack.com/s/oblomov 📚 Translations I'm Using: Oblomov, trans.
