Zh-2-20-32: Alexander Yablonsky

The writer Alexander Yablonsky, a former Petersburger, musician, teacher, musicologist living in the United States. The author of the book “Dreams” (2008) and the novel “Abrasha” (2011, the Long list of the “nose” award).
The new book, with an indisputable belonging to the Non Fiction genre, captures the reader as a sophisticated detective. Few have a similar ability to transmit “noise of time”, its “physiology” and spirit. This is a kind of requiem in the 40th-80s. The twentieth century, with exceptional reliability reproducing the era on the example of the life of an intelligent Leningrad family with rich historical roots. Descriptions of the days of the past are adjacent to the aphoristic assessments of the events of 2011-2012. And conquering their frantic conviction about the problems and place in the world culture of Russian emigration, truly unprecedented in their creative power. But the main charm of the book is the Fleur of the time, the creation of which requires skill and a special, disappearing, rare system of soul.
