Barcelona Prose is a collection of autobiographical essays by the
gifted translator, literary scholar, and dissident, Efim Etkind.
These engaging, deeply psychological vignettes capture the reality
of daily life and work in the Soviet Union. Unlike other memoirists
who have faced hardships, Etkind's tone is never cruel or
embittered. Told through the lens of a practiced scholar, he
captures the absurdity of a cultural-political experiment that
destroyed his family's life, his own career, and that of many of
his colleagues. By the time of Etkind's death, he did not rework
these essays into a continuous narrative. Originally published in
Russian, this first-ever English translation prepared by Etkind's
daughter presents his memoirs as a document of his time, without
any changes or abridgements. The editors' additions are limited to
several notes, proofreading of quotes, and checking or inserting
the full forms of the characters' names.
