Comp. by V. Polukhina 5th upd and enl. Ed
Moscow: Zakharov, 2011 783 p. [12 ill.] Hardcover. 13 x 20 cm ISBN: 9785815910522 Language: Russian
This is a collection of 181 interviews with the Russian poet Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996), a Nobel laureate. Among them are conversations with his fellow poets, critics, and journalists. Many topics are touched: everyday life and politics, art and religion, Russian and English poetry. Some of the interviews are translated from English, Polish, Italian, etc. Many of the interviews are published in this book for the first time. Though Brodsky himself opposed this genre and thought that a poet should be known only for his poetry, it was impossible to stop his friends and acquaintances from publishing their memoirs about him and their interviews. Valentina Polukhina, the compiler and the author of the afterword, is a professor of Russian at Keele University (England).
