Sergei Dovlatov is a modern classic, one of the most widely read Russian writers of the last quarter of the 20th century. The present volume of favorites includes such of his widely known works as 'Zone,' 'Compromise,' 'Zapovednik,' 'Nashi,' and 'Branch. "Reading him is easy. It's as if he doesn't demand attention, doesn't insist on his inferences or observations about human nature, doesn't impose himself on the reader. I devoured his books in an average of three or four hours of uninterrupted reading: because it was this unobtrusiveness of his tone that made it hard to tear myself away. The invariable reaction to his stories and novels is appreciation for the absence of pretension, for the sobriety of his outlook, for that soft music of common sense in every paragraph. The tone of his speech fosters restraint in the reader and has a sobering effect: you become him, and this is the best therapy that can be offered to a contemporary, let alone a descendant" (Joseph Brodsky).
