less time for culture but
Vladivostok Circus by Elisa Shua Dusapin
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
давно собирался прочесть это упоминание некогда родного города от швейцарско-корейской красотки. с первых страниц ясно, что во владивостокском цирке она не была ни разу, как и во Владивостоке – и, в общем, даже не в курсе, что на этом месте существовал некогда такой совецкий союз, хотя знает, как ни удивительно, что Владивосток при нем

"
...Ну и да - прекрасного еще и то, что день реального св. Фурсы совпадает с моим д.р. А критики врут, второй роман нисколько не мрачнее первого.
"
Max Nemtsov said:
"
Нет слов. Великолепный роман, первый из двух, и все, что о нем говорят, вполне заслуженно: это действительно шедевр фантазии, смешной и превосходно музыкально написанный. И, как любой идиосинкратический ирландский роман (взять тех же Стивенза или О'Б

| "у ночи в городе" - превосходный типично ирландский роман, "экспериментальный" и "семейный", темный, мрачный и жестокий, с домашним и дворовым насилием, инцестом, нищим детством, сплетенный из двух женских внутренних монологов - с нежданным подарком ...more | |

| следующий эпизод нелепых похождений ребенка в мире взрослых, которые его не слышат (а он не слышит их). весь абсурд, конечно, строится на разрыве всех связей, очень весело | |

No, no obligatory driving allowed. Contrary to my American heritage, I can wait. Besides, if you translate this I will feel driven to do something in return, and then all that endless driving might result in road rage. More pleasure, less work,

Jen wrote: ""A Little Fucking Something" sounds like something I would like.well, now it looks like i drove myself into a commitment of sorts to translate it )) i'll ask Lora if i may, and as soon as i'm free of my current work obligations, i'll try my best. it will be fun.
"A Little Fucking Something" sounds like something I would like. The second you mentioned sounds almost as good for me too. I need to make a shelf for translations I am going to wait for.
oh yes, Lora Beloivan. she's a wonderful creature. she's an old friend of mine, she lives near my home town of Vladivostok and almost all her time dedicates to saving seals from oil in the sea and other mishaps, painting, and writing. her first book ("A Little Fucking Something") is partly a kind of short surrealistic fictions, with, for example, dead Russian classics coming back to life and visiting Vladivostok only to complicate her life, and partly true stories from her career in Russian merchant marine. it's very funny (in a good sense).
her second one ("The Fifty First Winter of Nathaniel Forkin") is a poetic masterpiece, very stylishly illustrated and published. a series of hilarious and terrifying monologues of a village alcoholic and self-styled sage about everything on earth. hope i'll be able to translate some of her work into english some day.
Lora Beloivan sounds fascinating- what little I can find out in English. How would you describe her writing? I gather that you like her poetry? One particular book cover looks interesting, and the drawings inside.
Thanks for reading it. Yes, more's on the way, step by step.
