OOH, I like conspiracies!
Lately, I've taken to calling Putin, RasPutin. What is your insight on him and/or Russians in general? It seems the general Russian population is getting tired of him, emigration is increasing, he is making them nervous I think.......this from a high plateau of popularity not that long ago.
i meant russian literature, actually... Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bely, Pushkin.. (and many others) i try to avoid the current world's politics, that is for more level headed minds than myself. i prefer to steep myself in the culture of those who have come and gone.
Have you read Krzhizhanovsky's works, Parfington? He was born in the 1880s, was a revolutionary writer of his time (i think) with bizarre, almost dark writing. I own a book of his, although there aren't many out so far because I believe he was banned for a long while and his works are finally being released to the public...I digress, I own a book of his called Autobiography of a Corpse. I think he's worth checking out.Quote:

Alright, very cool! I've read Dovlatov, but I can't say I've heard of the others you listed there.Quote:

Welcome to the site, Parfington. You'll find plenty of Russian lit fans here.
My bad, that should have been obvious to me.......although I don't remember the last time anyone calle me level-headed!
Hi everyone! My name is Laurel and I look forward to sharing and helping you all with your works! :)
