About This Novel
In this collection of essays with rich themes and vast horizons, Joseph Brodsky begins with a deeply introspective look at his early experiences in Soviet Russia and his subsequent exile in the United States. Then, the author uses astonishing erudition to discuss a series of broad and deep topics such as the relaxation and change of poetry, the nature of history, and the double dilemma of exiled poets. The tentacles of thinking extend from ancient times to the present, from the ancient Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to the modern and contemporary poets Thomas Hardy and Robert Frost. The philosophical discussion of the nature of existence and the passionate passion for poetic aesthetics are combined into another rare work after "Less than One".
