Description
Notes of a Lodger is a requiem for the native city of the novella’s author, a city that is never named here but is easily recognizable (Odessa). It is a novella about three wars, two revolutions, villainies and temptations, revelations and the triumph of the spirit.
The novella was written “for the drawer” in the 1960s–70s and published in the new Russia, in the magazine Novy Mir, in the early 1990s.
The main character of this work, the Orthodox Russified German Mikhail Fyodorovich Lorenz, after passing through many circles of trials, returns from the war to his native home, where he has lived all his life.
He is a lodger, an inhabitant of his land, a lodger from the word “to live.” “...He loves his fellow townspeople, loves all of them,” the author writes at the beginning of the narrative, “all, the dead and the living. He has grown together with them as flesh with soul; he sometimes feels that he too was shot, burned, that he too hid in a cellar, that he too came out with them into God’s light, startled by the bright sun after so long and clinging to the stones.”
