As the story begins, Lev is involved in a tortured affair with an older woman and consumed by envy of his more privileged friend and fellow beginner poet Nikita, one of the children of high Soviet functionaries who were known as "golden youth."In both narratives, Krivorotov recounts with regret and self-castigation the failure of a double infatuation, his erotic love for the young student Anya and his artistic love for the poet Viktor Chigrashov. When this double infatuation becomes a romantic triangle, the consequences are tragic.In Illegible, as in his poems, Gandlevsky gives us unparalleled access to the atmosphere of the city of Moscow and the ethos of the late Soviet and post-Soviet era, while at the same time demonstrating the universality of human emotion. 606 $aFiction & Short Stories 606 $acontemporary Russian literature, Russian culture, Soviet dissident literature, samizdat, Russian poetry 606 $aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / Russian & Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $acontemporary Russian literature, Russian culture, Soviet dissident literature, samizdat, Russian poetry. 615 4$aFiction & Short Stories. 615 4$acontemporary Russian literature, Russian culture, Soviet dissident literature, samizdat, Russian poetry. 615 7$aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / Russian & Former Soviet Union. 676 $a891.73/44 700 $aGandlevsky$b Sergey, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01613324 701 $aFusso$b Susanne$0549975 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809236103321 996 $aIllegible$93942553 997 $aUNINA
