His irreverent portrait of Pushkin outraged émigrés and Soviet scholars alike, yet his \"disrespect\" was meant only to rescue Pushkin from the stifling cult of personality that had risen up around him. Anglophone readers who question the longstanding adoration for Pushkin felt by generations of Russians will enjoy tagging along on Sinyavsky's strolls with the great poet, discussing his life, fiction, and famously untranslatable poems. This new edition of \u003ci\u003eStrolls with Pushkin\u003c\/i\u003e also includes a later essay Sinyavsky wrote on the artist, \"Journey to the River Black.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrei Sinyavsky (1925-1997) was a writer of fiction and nonfiction.
