	Sergei Dovlatov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sergei Donatovich Dovlatov (Russian: Сергей Донатович Довлатов September 3, 1941-August 24, 1990) was a Russian short-story writer and novelist.
		Dovlatov was born on September 3, 1941 in Ufa, Republic of Bashkiria, where his family had been evacuated during World War II from Estonia.
		In 1979 Dovlatov emigrated from the Soviet Union with his mother, Nora, and came to live with his wife and daughter in New York, where he later co-edited "The New American", a liberal, Russian-language emigre newspaper.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Sergei Dovlatov
		Dovlatov had, admittedly, published some short stories in Soviet journals in the early 1970s, but it was while living in the United States from 1979 onwards that his talent as a comic writer and sharp observer of human vulnerability developed and matured.
		Sergei Donatovich Dovlatov was born on the 3
		The Foreign Branch is a wonderfully anarchic debunking of the self-importance of the emigration, culminating in the conference electing Taia as the leader of the opposition-in-waiting.

		Yerofeyev, Brodsky, Dovlatov - this is the short list of writers, whom are dedicated extensive articles in the section "Russian Literature Of The Last Half of XX Century" of a significant reference book.
		To my mind, Dovlatov will stay not only in that writer list, but he will be read and read with pleasure.
		Dovlatov's language, his polished laconic phrases can be easier translated.

		The second reason why Dovlatov failed to have his books published in the Soviet Union is, according to Andrei Aryev, that the writer's opponents could not forgive him his strong feeling for anything that was absurd in life-say, his characters are strange in many respects yet they are personalities.
		Sergei Dovlatov began to write books before emigration yet unlike such authors as Solzhenitsyn and Brodski his works were not published before the exile.
		Dovlatov emigrated to become a professional man of letters and was proud that he could reach his goal.

		This paper examines Sergej Dovlatov as a corrective voice in the midst of a hyperbolic Russian discourse on exile and immigration.
		Writers as diverse as Gercen, Dostoevskij, and Eduard Limonov have fostered a literature that mystifies the "forsaking" of the native land, a mystification that is especially voluble when the place of exile happens to be America--"the land for forgetting one's own" (Garibaldi, in Gercen).
		Where Conrad insists on the "unnaturalness" of being a transplant, perhaps Dovlatov implies that, notwithstanding patriotism and nostalgia, it is only natural for most people (and not just writers) to be unnatural anyway.

		The starting point of the documentary “Intimate town” (55 min) in the “The Compromise” by Russian literary classic Sergei Dovlatov (1941-1991), which is written during his emigration period in the USA.
		The stories of Tallinn by Dovlatov can be taken as a unique relation between truth and fantasy – here is the relation between the truth and fantasy of Soviet life as well as the relation of the author’s fantasy and the so-called “real people’s” real life.
		The Tallinn period of Sergei Dovlatov is so mythologised that even the scholars of literature do not know where the truth ends and the legend begins.

		This is a short work, comrpised of eleven pieces, each of which shows a newspaper article written by Dovlatov, correspondent in Tallinn, Estonia, USSR in the 1970s and then gives a brief narrated story that tells what really happened during the writing of the article.
		Dovlatov has a keen sense of humor, but the main device in these pieces is irony: the irony of the news article, the discrepancy between it and the story behind it, and the compromise on the part of the journalist necessary to create the story and stay afloat in the field of Soviet journalism.
		This book shows a side of Dovlatov not often seen in his other works, not just the Dovlatov who is able to laugh at the ridiculousness of some aspects of Soviet society, but a Dovlatov who also seriously looks at the tragic nature of life in the Soviet Union.

		If the line separating guard and prisoner was permeable, Dovlatov shows us in this work that the border between the Soviet Union and America was permeable too, as the narrator of the final work moves back and forth between time zones.
		Since his subject matter, Soviet prison camps, had by the time of publication been indelibly illustrated by both Solzhenitsyn and Shalamov, Dovlatov was in a sense forced to compete with his predecessors (as he himself acknowledged).
		It was through innovations in narrative voice and genre that Dovlatov sought to make his mark on the material.

		Currently I am working on the prose works of Sergei Dovlatov and the re-integration and influence of emigre literature within new Russian fiction.
		It is intended to examine Dovlatov’s response to the complex processes affecting Russian cultural and intellectual life in the 1970s and 1980s, and to examine the re-assimilation of his fiction into post-Soviet Russian literature, as an example of the reintegration of third-wave émigré literature.
		The focus of the study will entail an examination both of the literary process and Dovlatov’s role in it as an aspect of cultural history and of his literary output in its relation to Russian traditions of short prose.

	Yale/ Evtushenko - JRL 7-22-03
		It reminds me of a dialogue between Sergei Dovlatov and Iosif Brodsky, a long-time antagonist and die-hard enemy of Evtushenko.
		Shortly before Brodsky's death, he was visited by Dovlatov.
		Dovlatov didn't expect to see him so ill, and he didn't find anything better how to start a conversation, but to exclaim: "So, you are resting here on a couch, and there [in Russia] Evtushenko is criticizing the kolhoz system." "If Evtushenko is against - I am for it", Brodsky sighed.

		Probably the most surprising thing about this film is that the Soviet authorities actually allowed its release at the close of the anti-historical "stagnation" decade of the 1970s.
		Sergei Dovlatov, a remarkable Russian writer, who crossed the Atlantic, became famous, and died (in this order) in New York City, entitled a collection of his stories about life in the Soviet Union "Compromise." This could have been the title of this film.
		The film focuses on what you might call a low-intensity mid-life crisis of a mild-mannered 45-year old English professor Buzykin.

		This is why Dovlatov is so moving: he is always honest, especially in regard to himself.

		The late Russian-born novelist was a natural storyteller whose gift for mimicry and delicious sense of the absurd are showcased in this novella about Russian emigre life in Forest Hills, N.Y. Dovlatov (The Suitcase) deftly sketches in the community--former dissidents, bibliophiles, lawyers--who grapple with having to begin again, and at the bottom.
		Their drunken fights, the scurrilous parrot they keep as a pet, Marusya's benign neglect of her son--the product of her relationship with a Soviet porn star--are irreverently and, indeed, unsympathetically described by the author, who also figures as a character in the book.
		This mischievous look at one ethnic community is a delight, and makes Dovlatov's untimely death even more regrettable.
