Summary: Clean, Well-cut Russian Diamond in the Rough
Comment: Bitov, as one of the original members associated with the Metropol group (imagine a Bloomsbury in the former Soviet Union whose members faced very real consequences for expressing their views), a literary and arts association whose works literally transcended the unthinkable oppression, survives as do Aksyonov and Ratushinskaya. Pushkin House, which takes place in Petersburg, is as Nabokovian yet expressive as they come. The book assumes the guise of a sort of collage, expertly pieced together with incident and memory, the effect being something like studying the dizzing yet always stable and infinite array of refractions emerging from a well-cut gem when held up to the light. For anyone interested in or seriously studying Russian history or literature, Pushkin House, along with Solzhenitsyn, Aksyonov or Brodsky is essential; The book to end all nomenklaturas. A joy to recommend as much as to read
