Dovlatov is a good pal of mine

This is one of the most honest books about the great Russian writer Sergei Dovlatov, born in 1941 in Ufa and died in 1990 in New York. His friend and biographer Ludmila Stern tells about the comic and tragic episodes of her hero's life, about the writers who became symbols of a generation: Brodsky, Rein, Nabokov, Hemingway, Efimov, Gordin.... The book will be useful to all those interested in twentieth-century literature and the history of emigration.
