The character's ethical wrangling in Sophie's Choice is not that separated from what took place in the East, when individuals making the braid of cultural life had to 'prove' themselves to the West for acceptance. It makes individuals from Mann to Solzhenitsyn that much more worthy of our respect. And I think all mentioned were, are, Leica users. Slobodan Dimitrov Sam Krneta wrote: > > I wasn't aware of that.
