Boris Levit-Brown's new book contains essays, essays and sketches from different years and different genres. The author happened to respond with his pen to momentary and dramatic events, like the death of Marcello Mastroianni that overtook him in Italy. Both something spontaneously conceived, to write about the poetry of Georgy Ivanov, and something that had been thought about for a long time, such as, for example, the spiritual vision of Andrei Platonov, was cast into a finished form. Among the essays there are conceptual criticism of postmodernism, and critical articles about modern poets, whose work is close to the author, and even reflections on the most scandalous literary forgery of recent decades and on its no less scandalous author. On the pages of this book there will be something to think about for those who love sharp, unconventional thought, something to be indignant for - strict moralists, and something to cry about for those who have remained receptive to the drama of human feelings. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
