Detailed item info
| Synopsis | |
| Anton Lizaven is trying to research a biography of the turn-of-the-century writer Simeon Milashevich from the scraps of candy wrappers on which Milashevich wrote during paper scarcities. As Lizaven goes deeper into the details of Milashevich's life, the two writers begin a metaphysical conversation across time, and the book grows into a postmodern detective story which carries with it the picture of Russian society throughout the 1900s. | |

| Publisher's Note | |
| A Russian novel in the grand tradition of Nabokov and Gogol. As small-town scholar becomes immersed in reconstructing the life of a turn-of-the-century philosopher, the two begin a metaphysical conversation across time, painting a fascinating picture of Russia throughout the century and the crippling effects of Soviet power on the Russian psyche. Translated by Helena Goscilo. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| "With an intellectual insight rare in any novelist, Kharitonov invents and imagines a great but long-forgotten Russian writer whose destiny foretells the coming shape and being of Russian culture, the smell of its consciousness, the prison of its history....['Lines of Fate'] has the intense self-consciousness and cultural self-preoccupation of the best Russian fiction." Times Literary Supplement - John Bayley "'Lines of Fate' is not always easy going. But the reader who perseveres will...be richly rewarded. This is a powerful and important work, a moving coda to Soviet Russia's 'melody of destruction and loss.'" New York Times Book Review - Clare Cavanagh (08/11/1996) | |
