Über den Autor
Tatyana Tolstaya---"the most original, tactile, luminous voice in Russian prose today," according to Joseph Brodsky---worked at various publishing jobs after graduating from Leningrad University and appeared on the Moscow literary scene in 1983 with the favorably received story "Loves Me, Loves Me mehr anzeigen Not." Her first collection, On the Golden Porch (1988), proved extremely popular. Soon afterward she came to the United States on the first of a series of visiting university appointments and has plunged actively into cultural life in this country: She writes for the New York Review of Books, the New Republic, The New Yorker, and other magazines, as well as for publications in Russia. Her forte is the short story, her writing distinguished by exuberance, a talent for description, a comic sensibility, and more than a touch of the surreal. For one reviewer, "the discrepancy between fondest desires and disappointing reality" lies at the core of her writing, which is "a fiction of vast possibility, propelled not by plot, but by a narrative voice that imaginatively conveys the ambiguities of her characters' inner lives" (Baltimore Morning Sun). Sleepwalker in a Fog (1991) is her second book. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

‘Flashes of Memory’ and ‘My Father’s Death’ were written in French when living in exile in Paris after 1925. Her daughter Tatyana Albertini (*1905: https://web.archive.org/web/20150211141231/http://tolstoys.ru/en/tree/descendant... ) contributes an essay to this volume about her mother, their life in Paris and later in Rome. This first English edition is a translation from the French edition published in 1975. ‘My Father’s Death’ was first published in 1928 nine years after the death of her mother, Sofia.
Tatyana Tolstaya was close to both her mother and father; she understands both without judging either when describing the growing difficulties of their relationship over many years until the crisis finally broke and Lev Tolstoy left Yasnaya Polyana in the night of the 28th October 1910 to die 10 days later, taken in by the station master of Astapovo. Her account - and there are many, many by others - is gentle and warm to both.
Maxim Gorki in his personal memories of Tolstoy describes other sides of his complex personality, thus complement his daughters reminiscences. (V-20)
