Synopsis

Book by Genis Alexander

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These literary pieces by one of Russia's foremost essayists reflect the author's bi-culturalism Russian and American civilizations are compared in their various manifestations. Genis is a shrewd and observant critic. His essays are dynamic, informative, and a joy to read.

"Genis's wit is pointed without being spiteful and dazzling without being transient. Talent is truest when it cannot be willed or subdued. And so Genis is like King Midas: everything he touches turns to fine literature."
Tatyana Tolstaya
