New biography of the Russian poet and Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky. The biographical genre is special. Facts, events that replace each other, an attempt to reconstruct the poet’s life is in itself absurd, at first glance, but the writer Maxim Gureev, with his characteristic delicacy, managed to create a Legend out of Myth... Maxim Gureev graduated from the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University and the prose seminar of Andrei Bitov at the Literary Institute. Published in the magazines “New World”, “Friendship of Peoples”, “Znamya”, “October”. Documentary film director, author of more than 60 films. Member of the Russian PEN Center.
