Reviews
Forget old myths about censored, obedient Soviet citizens, and meet Aleshkovsky's wildly enterprising and emphatically free-thinking protagonists who don't hesitate to use colorful language to make a point about body politics, the scientific use of semen, and other absurdities of modern life., Rescued from the literary underground, these two historical novellas provide a coarse satirical insight into post-World War II Soviet dissatisfaction. Aleshkovsky emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1979 as an infamous writer of imaginative dissident fiction. . . . Through his two scurrilous antiheroes, Aleshkovsky laughs at Russian society from the gutters of the Soviet underworld., Completely irreverent -- in the best possible way. Underneath the biting satire and the unrelenting hilarity, Yuz Aleshkovsky's rapid-fire prose reveals intricate insights into late Soviet politics, culture, science, and daily life. The deeply problematic narrators of both novellas will introduce you to a Soviet Union you hadn't suspected existed., Yuz Aleshkovsky is absolutely brilliant. These outstanding English translations of two of his early works offer readers a chance to encounter his idiosyncratic, occasionally profane, and thoroughly remarkable voice., Yuz Aleshkovsky often gets lost in the shuffle when discussing of the important Russian writers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These outstanding English translations of two of his early works offer readers another chance to encounter his idiosyncratic, occasionally profane, and thoroughly remarkable voice., Joseph Brodsky once noted that Aleshkovsky had a Mozartian ear for the Russian language, and Nikolai Nikolaevich (1970), his first novel, as well as Camouflage (1978), his fourth - written the year before the author emigrated permanently to the US - are indeed virtuoso performances. . . . Staying faithful to Aleshkovsky's foul-mouthed muse, White's translation, edited by Fusso, mines the rich muck of anglophone cussing with evident glee, and the effect is delightful., Thanks to White's remarkable translation, Aleshkovsky's Nikolai Nikolaevich and Camouflage may well become an inevitable part of the curriculum.
