Description
This audiobook by Alexander Genis is unlike any of his previous ones. There’s less literature in it, more life—yet the humor is the same. “Return Address” is an odyssey across the archipelago of memory. On every island (Luhansk, Kyiv, Ryazan, Riga, Paris, New York, and all of Russian America), the author is met by ancestors, friends, and idols. Among them are Peter Weil and Sergei Dovlatov, Aleksei German and Andrei Bitov, Sinyavsky and Bakhchanian, Brodsky and Baryshnikov, Tolstaya and Sorokin, Khvostенко and Grebenshchikov, Unknown and Shemyakin, Akunin and Chkhartishvili, Komar and Melamid, the “New American” and the radio station “Liberty.” Wandering through his own life, Genis views it through stained glass of a unique style: precisely, vividly, humorously—and with nothing extra.
