Andrei Sinyavsky wrote Strolls with Pushkin while confined to
Dubrovlag, a Soviet labor camp, smuggling the pages out a few at a
time to his wife. His irreverent portrait of Pushkin outraged
emigres and Soviet scholars alike, yet his "disrespect" was meant
only to rescue Pushkin from the stifling cult of personality that
had risen up around him. Anglophone readers who question the
longstanding adoration for Pushkin felt by generations of Russians
will enjoy tagging along on Sinyavsky's strolls with the great
poet, discussing his life, fiction, and famously untranslatable
poems. This new edition of Strolls with Pushkin also includes a
later essay Sinyavsky wrote on the artist, "Journey to the River
Black."
