About This Novel
"Sorrow and Reason" contains a total of twenty-one essays, which are roughly divided into several genres such as memoirs, travel notes, speeches, open letters and eulogies. These essays come in various forms and lengths, but they appeal to a common theme, which is "poetry and poets." This collection of essays can be said to be a key to Brodsky's poetic and aesthetic views, as well as his ethics and worldview. Less than half a year after the completion of the last work in the collection, "In Memory of Stephen Spender," Brodsky himself passed away. Therefore, "Sorrow and Reason" became the last collection of prose published by Brodsky during his lifetime. It is the "swan song" of Brodsky's prose writing and even his entire creation.
