Description
Joseph Brodsky's On Grief and Reason is a richly diverse collection of essays that explore his experiences of early life in Russia and exile in America. With dazzling erudition, he examines the dynamic of poetry, the nature of history, and the plight of the émigré writer.
This second volume of essays follows Less Than One, featuring Brodsky's 1987 Nobel Lecture, 'Uncommon Visage', alongside humorous tales, advice to students, and homages to notable writers such as Marcus Aurelius and Robert Frost. A thought-provoking collection that showcases Brodsky's unique perspective on life, literature, and identity.
