| Description | This volume by Maria Stepanova brings together texts written over the past decade, most of them devoted to literature, although in her work the boundary between essay and prose is so elusive that these pieces themselves become literature. The book explores the experience of reading and writing as a force that changes us beyond our conscious intention and continually reinvents language through an ongoing conversation with both the living and the dead. At the same time, Stepanova transforms the very way in which literature and the present can be discussed, so that writing about books becomes inseparable from an attempt to understand the conditions of contemporary life. Whether she turns to her contemporaries such as Gennady Aigi and Grigory Dashevsky or to earlier figures including Alexander Blok, Osip Mandelstam, Nadezhda Mandelstam and Vladimir Vysotsky, she reads them from the perspective of the here and now, under the pressure of current circumstances, and this makes each essay capable of touching anyone willing to listen closely. |
