  Amazon.ca: Goodnight! a Novel: A Novel: Books: Abram Tertz,Richard Lourie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Its title rich in ironies, this fictionalized autobiography is a collaboration between sober, scholarly Sinyavsky (the narrator) and alter ego Tertz, "author" of phantasmagoric-grotesque fiction in the style he describes in his important essay, "On Socialist Realism" (1960) as the only adequate way of encapsulating the Soviet experience.
Tertz puts his own expressionistic spin on this material.
The result is a deeply felt, funny, and, yes, grotesque book, a solidly rooted work that has much to tell us about the complexities and contradictions of the human condition.

 Amazon.com: Little Jinx: Books: Abram Tertz,Edward J. Brown,Larry P. Joseph,Rachel May   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
"Abram Tertz," the alter ego of Russian literary scholar Andrei Sinyavsky (b.
Tertz's dwarflike, woefully underqualified hero, Andrei Sinyavsky, shares his name with his pseudonymous creator--and that's about all he shares with anybody, from the moment he ``waived my right to goodness, fame, and fortune'' so that magical pediatrician Dora Aleksandrovna could cure his childish stutter.
Gentler in its satire than the stories and essays that got Tertz five years in a Soviet labor camp: as winsomely, tearfully loony as the Gogol tales it recalls.

At the conclusion of his 1966 Moscow trial, Andrei Sinyavsky was sentenced to seven years of hard labor for writings he smuggled to France under the pseudonym, Abram Tertz.
Tertz writes in a colorful, convoluted, conversational style which flouts generic norms.
In the realm of literature, Tertz has been perceived as anathema by self-proclaimed defenders of Russian culture, but his writings surely continue the literary tradition passed from Pushkin and Gogol to Rozanov.

 TIME.com: Notes from Underground -- Oct. 29, 1965 -- Page 1
"Abram Tertz," the pseudonymous critic of the Soviet system, had for more than six years eluded the Kremlin's wrath while smuggling out satiric manuscripts to be published abroad.
Tertz writes with a heavy undercurrent of Jewish Weltschmerz, Sinyavsky with a gentle wit reflecting his Russian Orthodox background.
Tertz has made his mark as a bitter, bedrock enemy of Communism, while Sinyavsky merely mocks its Stalinist aspects.

 Amazon.ca: Strolls with Pushkin: Books: Abram Tertz,Catharine Theimer Nepomnyashchy,Slava I. Yastremski   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In a playfully irreverent, esoteric portrait of Russian poet Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837), Sinyavsky (who writes under the pseudonym Abram Tertz) spoofs the idolization of the 19th-century bard in Soviet Russia.
Pushkin (1799-1837) was not only a Russian Negro but also the first ``civilian'' to make a name for himself in Russian literature, and Tertz (Sinyavsky's pen name when having fun) takes Pushkin down ten more pegs or so, calling him ``not a diplomat, not a secretary, a nobody.
A deadbeat...'' His Pushkin is a trickster of letters who made his name by avoiding all literary pretenses, writing lines of any length he pleased, and carrying on like an all-male puff or lazy dandy who had special insight into what the ladies needed--and gave it to them in verse, as well as in life.
