hardcover. Condición: Very Good in Dustjacket. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1999. November 1999. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0679444017. Translated from the Russian by Christopher Morris. 484 pages. hardcover. Jacket design & illustration by Sasha Shor. keywords: Europ…e Russia Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Few writers enjoy the kind of international praise and prestige that Russian EmigrE novelist Vassily Aksyonov has earned for his previous books. In his latest and most surprising novel, THE NEW SWEET STYLE, Alexander Korbach a singer/composer/playwright adored by the counterculture in Moscow and reviled by the Communist powers-that-were - comes to the United Stales to start over and to search for new ways of pursuing his art. No one is at the airport to meet him. Oh, well. Sasha soon discovers that he's a distant cousin of a rich American retailer with an elegant flagship store in New York. But before lie can 'capitalize' on this connection, Sasha has to work as a garage attendant in Santa Monica, deal with his Russian ex-wife, face down the KGB, get in bed with the KGB, and drink a goodly portion of vodka now and again (and again). With his inimitably hilarious and melancholy sensibility, Vassily Aksyonov draws a sharp portrait of a flawed but resilient hero who wanders through his new homeland in search of happiness and an audience for his work. It's a perfect. wise vision of a world that somehow manages to grow smaller and crazier with every passing day. A leading Soviet writer, VASSILY AKSYONOV was forced to emigrate from the Soviet Union in 1980 after frequent clashes with government authorities made it increasingly difficult for him to publish there. inventory #8412.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition (stated). xii, 482, [2] pages. Inscribed to Willy and Kathleen Warner, from their Foxhall, as well as Porcupine Cave, friend Vasya Ansyonov on January 16, 2000. Chapters cover The Procession; The Boulevard; The Premiere; The Terrace; The Sound of th…e Old Woman; The Lion in the Alioto; Miracle in Atlanta; The Border; Three Points of View; At Night on the Piazza Cicerna; A Quote; and A Meeting. Derived from a Kirkus review: It's the picaresque history of singer-actor Alexander "Sasha" Korbach's 13-year (1982â"95) odyssey in and out of favor with Soviet authorities, pursuit of the good life in America, and lifelong search for a personal aestheticâ"a "new sweet style" compounded of abstract universal and mundane specific elements. Aksyonov tells Sasha's often beguiling story in a voice that addresses the reader directly. Aksyonov's ego-driven antihero is an engaging bundle of sexual and creative energies, and the parade of characters orbiting around himâ"his enthusiastically Americanized ex- wife Anisia, fellow Russian-Americans like Bellovian hustler Tikhomir Barevyatnikov and sexual gameswoman Lenore Yablonsky, and especially Sasha's American mistress Nora Mansour and her father, his "fourth cousin," department-store millionaire philanthropist Stanley Korbach. They all have their own unruly reality, and help broaden the novel's scope. The details of Sasha's several careers-as filmmaker, professor, and "chairman of the Moscow branch of the Korbach Fund"-are also cunningly manipulated to bring the story to an absolutely stunning comic-apocalyptic conclusion in Jerusalem. Aksyonov's fiction is well worth it. Vassily Pavlovich Aksyonov (August 20, 1932 - July 6, 2009) was a Soviet and Russian novelist. He became known in the West as the author of The Burn and of Generations of Winter, a family saga following three generations of the Gradov family between 1925 and 1953. In 1956, he was "discovered" and heralded by the Soviet writer Valentin Kataev for his first publication, in the liberal magazine Youth.[2] "His first novel, Colleagues (1961), was based on his experiences as a doctor."[2] "His second, Ticket to the Stars (1961), depicting the life of Soviet youthful hipsters, made him an overnight celebrity." In the 1960s Aksyonov was a frequent contributor to the popular Yunost ("Youth") magazine and eventually became a staff writer. Aksyonov thus reportedly became "a leading figure in the so-called "youth prose" movement and a darling of the Soviet liberal intelligentsia and their western supporters: his writings stood in marked contrast to the dreary, socialist-realist prose of the time." "When The Burn was published in Italy in 1980, Aksyonov accepted an invitation for him and his wife Maya to leave Russia for the US." "Soon afterwards, he was stripped of his Soviet citizenship, regaining it only 10 years later during Gorbachev's perestroika." Aksyonov spent the next 24 years in Washington, D.C. and Virginia, where he taught Russian Literature at George Mason University. He [also] taught literature at a number of [other] American universities, including USC and Goucher College in Maryland. [and] worked as a journalist for Radio Liberty. [In 1994], he also won the Russian Booker Prize, Russia's top literary award, for his historical novel Voltairian Men and Women, about a meeting between the famous philosopher Voltaire and Empress Catherine II. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: A Soviet emigre novelist now living in Washington, D.C., Aksyonov describes here alienation from and gradual acceptance of his adopted homeland. The self-described "critically thinking Soviet'' tosses off a perceptive potpourri that is witty and affecting: on Russian anti- and pro-American sentiment; jazz; the benefits of Washington over New York; American Slavists; Soviet blacks; Russian Americans; American bureaucracy; an aunt who raised him after his parents were arrested in Stalin's purges. Musings on American provincialism, high rents and cockroaches.
