Joseph Brodsky and the Soviet Muse
MacFadyen focuses on Brodsky's poetic beginnings. Revising the typical, simplistic representation of the young Brodsky and his peers in Western criticism, he demonstrates that Brodsky and his acquaintances absorbed an amazingly wide range of texts, both old and new, and that they read contemporary American, French, German, and Polish literature. Through numerous interviews with Brodsky's contemporaries and vast archival research, MacFadyen offers a vital new slant on Brodsky's early verse, providing the first published translations of these poems and examining Brodsky's work in relation to a broad international spectrum of influences to reveal the art and craft of his poetry.

محاكمة برودسكي : أول محاكمة لشاعر محاكمة.شهادات.وثائق.نقد
هذا الكتاب : محاكمة سريالية تراجيكوميدية، إن من يركض وراء نشر كتبه لا يمكن أن يكتب وينتج، نحن جئنا إلى هنا لا لكي نعيش بل لكي نكمل ما تبقى لنا من أيام العمر، عندما نفقد قدرتنا على كتابة الشعر، يعني ذلك أن الحياة أوشكت على الانتهاء. -برودسكي لم تكن محاكمة الشاعر جوزيف برودسكي من نسج الخيال بل هي حقيقة واقعة موجودة في الوثائق والأرشيف إذ تجسد أول محاكمة لشاعر، العلاقة المأساوية بين السلطة والإبداع، وهذه القضية ما زالت تتفاعل في مجتمعنا العربي ولم تجد بعد الحلول اللازمة رغم سقوط الإمبراطوريات والدكتاتوريات والأنظمة الشمولية هنا وهناك. لقد تعرض الشاعر إلى المنع من الكتابة لأنه لم يكن منتميا إلى اتحاد الكتاب والأدباء السوفيات آنذاك، فالإبداع الأدبي كان عليه أن يمر بسلسلة من القنوات الحزبية قبل أن يرى النور وألا يعتبر منشورا سريا يحاسب عليه صاحبه، وهذا ما حصل مع الشاعر برودسكي يعود الفضل في تدوين وحفظ جلسات محاكمة الشاعر برودسكي في عام 1964 الصحافية الشجاعة فريدا فيغدوروفا التي لولاها لذهبت وقائعها أدراج الرياح، لذلك أصبحت وثيقة مهمة وفريدة من نوعها، في تاريخ الأدب، علق عليها ايفيم ايتكند، عضو اتحاد الكتاب والأدباء، وصديق برودسكي وأحد الذين شهدوا محاكمته، وقد وصفها الكثيرون بأنها رائعة سريالية تراجيكوميدية، انبثقت من لجتها البيروسترويكا التي غيرت وجه روسيا نحو الديمقراطية. وقد صدمت سلطات بلده أن حاز مواطنها الشاعر على جائزة نوبل للآداب من مقر إقامته في الولايات المتحدة، الذي اعتبر أكثر من شاعر، فهو مفكر، خرج على تقاليد الأدب المألوف ليذهب بتجربته إلى أقصى مداها في عالم كتابة الشعر.

Brodsky Abroad
Expelled from the Soviet Union in 1972 and honored with the Nobel Prize fifteen years later, poet Joseph Brodsky in many ways fit the grand tradition of exiled writer. But Brodsky’s years of exile did not render him immobile: though he never returned to his beloved Leningrad, he was free to travel the world and write about it. In
Brodsky Abroad , Sanna Turoma discusses Brodsky’s poems and essays about Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, and Venice. Challenging traditional conceptions behind Brodsky’s status as a leading émigré poet and major descendant of Russian and Euro-American modernism, she relocates the analysis of his travel texts in the diverse context of contemporary travel and its critique. Turoma views Brodsky’s travel writing as a response not only to his exile but also to the postmodern and postcolonial landscape that initially shaped the writing of these texts.
In his Latin American encounters, Brodsky exhibits disdain for third-world politics and invokes the elegiac genre to reject Mexico’s postcolonial reality and to ironically embrace the romanticism of an earlier Russian and European imperial age. In an essay on Istanbul he assumes Russia’s ambiguous position between East and West as his own to negotiate a distinct, and controversial, interpretation of Orientalism. And, Venice, the emblematic tourist city, becomes the site for a reinvention of his lyric self as more fluid, hybrid, and cosmopolitan.
Brodsky Abroad reveals the poet’s previously uncharted trajectory from alienated dissident to celebrated man of letters and offers new perspectives on the geopolitical, philosophical, and linguistic premises of his poetic imagination.

Joseph Brodsky
The work of Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996), one of Russia's great modern poets, has been the subject of much study and debate. His life, too, is the stuff of legend, from his survival of the siege of Leningrad in early childhood to his expulsion from the Soviet Union and his achievements as a Nobel Prize winner and America's poet laureate.
In this penetrating biography, Brodsky's life and work are illuminated by his great friend, the late poet and literary scholar Lev Loseff. Drawing on a wide range of source materials, some previously unpublished, and extensive interviews with writers and critics, Loseff carefully reconstructs Brodsky's personal history while offering deft and sensitive commentary on the philosophical, religious, and mythological sources that influenced the poet's work. Published to great acclaim in Russia and now available in English for the first time, this is literary biography of the first order, and sets the groundwork for any books on Brodsky that might follow.

Joseph Brodsky and the Baroque
MacFadyen shows that the works of John Donne, the existential philosophy of Kierkegaard and Sestov, and the cities of St Petersburg and Venice inspired in Brodsky a fundamentally Baroque evolution. He provides a compelling and comprehensive examination of Brodsky's poetry and prose in a fascinating overview of some problems of post-soviet aesthetics. The book concludes with a reassessment of Brodsky's final role, that of cross-cultural, bilingual essayist.

Poetic Affairs
Poetic Affairs deals with the complex and fascinating interface between literature and life through the prism of the lives and works of three outstanding poets: the German-Jewish poet and Holocaust survivor, Paul Celan (1920-1970); the Leningrad native, U.S. poet laureate, and Nobel Prize winner, Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996); and Germany's premier contemporary poet, Durs Grünbein (born 1962). Focusing on their poetic dialogues with such interlocutors as Shakespeare, Seneca, and Byron, respectively-veritable love affairs unfolding in and through poetry-Eskin offers unprecedented readings of Celan's, Brodsky's, and Grünbein's lives and works and discloses the ways in which poetry articulates and remains faithful to the manifold \"truths\"-historical, political, poetic, erotic-determining human existence.

Mo Yan in Translation: One Voice among Many
(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) When CLT Deputy Editor in Chief Jona- than Stalling asked me to write a short introductory piece for the special section on the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, I told him I'd try. Beyond the excitement of actually dressing up for this most celebratory of ceremonies and participating in the week-long festivities surrounding it, we less-famous Mo Yans were given an opportunity to compare notes, discuss issues of fidelity, literariness, even marketing in relation to our versions of such novels as Red Sorghum, Big Breasts and Wide Hips, and more.
