It was nice to see your recent posts about Leskov. And happy blog birthday!<br /><br />Thank you for mentioning Leont'ev, Languagehat... I'll look into him since I certainly do like oddball writers! Limonov has never been a favorite, though I did read <i>Eddie</i> years back. Alas, I never quite hit it off with that "most-published author" you mentioned, either! <br /><br />There may be another alphabetical post or two on the way soon, thanks to long books... I'm about halfway through the Kuznetsov book and Bykov's <i>Ostromov</i>, another big book nominated for the Big Book awaits!Lisa C.

And I'm glad for the recommendation of Ледяной дом, which I've been wanting to read myself.<br /><br />There actually aren't a lot of other L writers; the most famous that comes to mind is Eduard Limonov, whose Это я - Эдичка has been frequently recommended but which I haven't gotten around to reading. Then there's the oddball Konstantin Leontiev (Константин Николаевич Леонтьев), whom I wrote about <a href="http://www.languagehat.com/archives/002817.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />But how could you omit the most-published author in all Soviet history?!languagehathttp://www.languagehat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932429135630556215.post-61262351944940428112011-09-19T23:11:01.625-04:002011-09-19T23:11:01.625-04:00As an experiment - and because I enjoyed your summ...As an experiment - and because I enjoyed your summaries so much - I sent this to everyone who reads my Twitters or whatever they are called.

I don't know what's held me back from reading <i>Ledianoi dom</i> but I brought it back to my upstairs shelf for serious consideration after I finish all the Big Book finalists (only a few to go!)... "bodice-ripping pageant" sounds like it would be a nice change of pace!<br /><br />It's great to hear you're using Lermontov for your class. May your students enjoy the passage in their test!Lisa C.

I love 'Geroi'. And please DO read 'Ledianoi dom' soon - it's full of semi-incomprehensible period language (or so I found when I tackled it last year), but it's also a great, bodice-ripping pageant despite its flaws...Russian Dinosaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708798725927250672noreply@blogger.com
