In the three and a half decades since Dovlatov's works became available to Russian readers, he has become perhaps the most popular Russian writer of the 20th century. «Sergei Dovlatov: Time, Place, Fate» is the first and only book that addresses...
the key issues of his biography and creativity. The book by the renowned literary scholar and critic Igor Sukhin has already gone through several reprints and is considered a classic work on Dovlatov. Aimed at a broad audience, written in an accessible and engaging manner, it offers us a new experience in reading beloved works, helps to understand the literary and historical context of Dovlatov's prose and its internal laws. Dovlatov's prose is deceptively simple. Even for the writer's fans, the interest that flared up in the early 1990s in the legacy of «the last cultural hero of the Soviet era» (as Dovlatov was called by critics) seemed fleeting. Having withstood the serious test of time, his works («Zone», «The Reserve», «Ours», «The Foreigner», «The Suitcase», etc.) are still in demand by readers today. What is the secret of Dovlatov's mastery? This book will help to understand. The edition is accompanied by an insert with photographs.
