From the Back Cover
No other contemporary novel provides such clear insight into the Russian mind and way of life as Andrei Bitov's Pushkin House. First published in the United States in 1987 and highly praised for its inventiveness, Pushkin House is a contemporary literary masterpiece. Though the novel's focus is a love affair between Lyova and Faina, the novel's true subject is an investigation of the corruption of Soviet intellectual life and history. Working within many of the confines imposed upon him during the Soviet regime, Bitov ingeniously draws upon Russian literary models, especially that of Nabokov, in order to parody and satirize the stifling society about him, as well as Russian literary tradition.
About the Author
Andrei Bitov was born in St. Petersburg in 1937. He studied at the Mining Institute there, but was expelled when he began neglecting his studies to write poetry. He worked as a stevedore, served in the army, returned to the institute, and started to write prose. In 1963 he became a full-time writer of stories. A collection of these stories, Life in Windy Weather, was published in translation in 1986. Other books that have been translated into English include Pushkin House, The Monkey Link, and Captive of the Caucasus.
