Grisha Bruskin. With you in my Thoughts
Grisha Bruskin. Particulars by Mail
About the author :
Grisha Bruskin is one of the most famous Russian artists living in the West. His works are featured in the collections of the world’s major museums.
In 2001 the New Literary Observer publishing house printed Grisha Bruskin’s book The Past Imperfect, a collection of notes related to the life of the author and his intimate circle.
This was followed by With you in my Thoughts, a collection of memories, letters, family jokes, parables, documents, funny and tragic stories over several generations of Bruskin’s family.
Particulars by Mail, the final book of the trilogy, is structured like an alphabetic name index. Unlike the first two books, whose protagonist is the author himself, the third book has as many characters as there are names in the index.
On the one hand, Particulars is the third installment in a series, on the other, it is a fully-fledged ‘thing in itself’, a work which stands on its own two feet.
