The Light That Never Goes Out — Helen Russell (2025)
Source: Original · Readwise highlight
A Polish journalist told me on my last visit to Warsaw: “We already know how to be sad.”
- Role: journey waypoint
- In the article: The author is travelling to Warsaw for the Polish edition of her book and a live TV appearance around All Saints’ Day; she recalls a journalist’s remark from her last visit and plans to light a candle in the city.
- Why it matters: The trip is the frame for the piece’s argument that Poland knows how to live with sadness; no particular site in the city is described.
