Lectures on Russian literature

This book of Vasily Aksenov is similar to a conversation with the deceased on a magical phone: the interference does not allow the details of the details, but sometimes the pure voice of a long -departed author breaks through, and you sincerely smile at his sparkling memories of the past.
Thanks to the heirs of Vasily Pavlovich, we collected lectures by the writer that he gave to students in the George Washington University (Washington, County of Colombia) in 1982. The heroes of the lectures were Bella Akhmadullina, Georgy Vladimov, Valentin Rasputin, Evgeny Yevtushenko, Andrei Voznesensky, Boris Pasternak, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Vladimir Voinovich and many, many famous (and already forgotten) writers of the 20th century.
Well, of course, Aksenov himself became one of the main characters of this book.
An unnecessary optimist, adventurer and man open to the world in all his manifestations.
You should not look in these notes of historical and scientific accuracy - this is the cast of the writer"s living speech, his inspired Table -Talk - in the best traditions of Russian and Western literature
