Description
“Time and Place” (1980) is the writer’s deepest, most confessional novel, in which the history of the country was understood through the fates of writers. The editorial board rejected it, and it was not published during the author’s lifetime. It appeared after the writer’s death in 1982, with very significant censorship cuts.

The writer himself defined “Time and Place” as a “novel of self-awareness.” The hero, the writer Antipov, is tested by his entire life, in which a thread of fate chosen by him in different eras can be traced—across various complex life situations. The writer strove to gather together the times he witnessed himself: the end of the 1930s, the war, the postwar period, the Thaw, and modernity.

Read from a 1981 magazine edition, that is, apparently with “very significant censorship cuts,” unfortunately.
