From the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena—dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.
This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs, deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents.
不知道该怎样去描述这个跨越了几代人的故事,就好像被拼凑起来的那一幅油画,关于一个处在白茫茫的北极圈内的城市和他的历史,他的人民。在地图上搜索了好久,基洛夫格勒好像一个躲猫猫的孩子,藏在俄罗斯最北端的地平线里,没有踪影。就像我们无法仅仅靠着语言就能够证明的曾...

小说在影像展结束就很好。 有点像剧本或者电影,充满了时间情景,视角,和铺垫伏笔。 缺少情感的描写,也没什么令人震撼的锻炼。不过叙述挺幽默的,向作者学吐槽,总的体验都还不错。 最后算是happy ending, 历史没有被遗忘。最喜欢alexei的部分,aphorist当得有模有样~
评分故事讲述得非常有意思,小故事每个都独立,但是串起来就是一个大故事。这个题材的书/故事不多,作者讲述的方式又很新颖,很喜欢。

评分读了两个故事读不下去了。。。
评分文学鉴赏体验极佳。全文架构相当有趣,也有几个故事特别喜欢。但就个人来说,这种结构有一点减损连贯性和好的阅读体验。
