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 so far the only book that addresses key issues of his biography and work. The book by the famous literary scholar and critic Igor Sukhikh has already been reprinted several times and is considered a classic work about Dovlatov. Addressed to a wide range of readers, written in an easy and interesting way, it gives us a new experience of reading our favorite works, helps us understand the literary and historical context of Dovlatov's prose and its internal laws.
Dovlatov's prose is deceptively simple. Even to the writer's fans, the interest in the legacy of the "last cultural hero of the Soviet era" (as critics called Dovlatov) that flared up in the early 1990s seemed fleeting. Having stood the test of time, his works (Zone, Reserve, Nashi, Foreigner, Suitcase, etc.) are still in demand by readers today. This book will help you figure out the secret of Dovlatov's mastery.
The publication is supplied with an insert with photographs.
