Lost Worlds2 keepsakes
What almost disappeared.
I write stories that have been lost. Along the way I have gathered other small things from those worlds — recipes, old songs, objects, customs — things most people do not know still exist. I keep them here so they are not lost again.
Song
Dark Is the Night
The great Soviet war song — Тёмная ночь — written in a single night for the 1943 film Two Soldiers.
Recipe
Salmorejo
A rich, creamy tomato soup from the Crypto Jews of 16th-century South America — and from a grandmother's kitchen in Turkey.
