Poet, publicist, one of the founders of Moscow conceptualism, Lev Rubinstein is perhaps the most famous Russian columnist. His brilliant, witty columns, written for “Itogi”, “Big City”, Esquire, Grani.ru, InLiberty.ru, instantly spread quotes across social networks. In his short, precise, funny texts, he easily dispels the fog of propaganda, clarifying the meaning of current events. But most importantly, these little essays by Rubinstein belong to real literature. And, like any good literature, they tune the vision and hearing so that it becomes more difficult to pass by the forgery and falsehood. “What is Heard” is the most complete collection of Rubinstein’s texts from his three previous books “Signs of Attention”, “Most Likely” and “Causal” time”, published by Corpus.
