Описание:Love and the novel, the individual in history, the existential plight of the graduate student: all find their place in "The Possessed". Over the course of several pages, Batuman managed to misplace Babel’s last living relatives at the San Francisco airport, uncover Babel’s secret influence on the making of "King Kong", and introduce her readers to a new voice that was unpredictable, comic, humane, ironic, charming, poignant, and completely, unpretentiously full of love for literature. We go with her to Stanford, Switzerland, and St. Petersburg; retrace Pushkin’s wanderings in the Caucasus; learn why Old Uzbek has one hundred different words for crying; and see an eighteenth-century ice palace reconstructed on the Neva. In "The Possessed" we watch her investigate a possible murder at Tolstoy’s ancestral estate. Literally and metaphorically following the footsteps of her favorite authors, Batuman searches for the answers to the big questions in the details of lived experience, combining fresh readings of the great Russians, from Pushkin to Platonov, with the sad and funny stories of the lives they continue to influence—including her own. No one who read Elif Batuman’s first article will ever forget it. “Babel in California” told the true story of various human destinies intersecting at Stanford University during a conference about the enigmatic writer Isaac Babel. Batuman’s subsequent pieces—for The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, and the London Review of Books— have made her one of the most sought-after and admired writers of her generation, and its best traveling companion.

Motel peeper

A certain type of book. Because Hiram was a writer. A special type of writer. Oh, his work wasn't going to win any Pulitzer Prize, unless they planned to give Pulitzer Prizes to authors who wrote stories about cocks and cunts and tits and cuts instead of about cowboys and Indians or homosexual detectives. Hiram was, to put it simply, a fuck-book writer. He wrote about everyday people whose only interest in life was getting fucked or sucked. Just like the people who stayed in the Sleepwell Motel. Just like the people who read fuck books. Hiram knew the reason why he wrote fuck books. And it wasn't for the money – even though fuck-book publishers were paying damn fine rates these days to writers of Hiram's skill and talent. Hiram wrote fuck books because he knew his work was good, because he knew that he could express things about people and situations as on one else could. In that sense, he was very egotistical. Which made him very dangerous because egotism and assholeism are not conducive to having a nice personality ...»
