Tamara Kataeva is the mysterious author of two of the most sensational and polemical biographies of the last decade - ANTI-AKHMATOV and THE OTHER PASTERNAK. Masterfully combining quotes from literary and memoir sources with their non-standard analysis, she became the founder of a new genre in journalism - the montage novel - and gave birth to a number of imitators. “Pushkin: Jealousy” is a new genre experiment by Kataeva. No one has ever written about Pushkin like she does. (Back cover) “Pushkin: Jealousy,” despite all the differences from my two previous books, somehow completes this trilogy, reflecting my rather, frankly, original view to the lives of the great and the “great.” “Anti-Akhmatova” is a “folk thought”, “The Other Pasternak” is a “family thought”, and the novel about Pushkin is an attempt to answer the question of what the greats are in general, why study their lives, why learn about them and what to do , if these great ones, without asking anyone, stood in your way of life. Whose life ultimately becomes more important: theirs or your own? Tamara Kataeva
