This book is the first biography of Nina Berberova.
As a result of many years of work in the archives, the author was able to decipher the most important of the many “omissions” (in the words of Berberova herself) that inevitably intrigued readers of her autobiographical work “Kursiv moy.”
The author pays special attention to the four decades of Berberova’s life in America that remain beyond the narrative—extremely rich both personally and professionally.
