What people are saying
Author, 'The Zucchini Conspiracy', 'The Impostors' & 'The Man Who Couldn't Stop Thinking'. Seriously humoristic. I live among the French Basques. #writer
@wordsandmuses An agent encouraged me to write a 21st century version of Mikhail Lermontov's 19th century novel, 'A Hero of Our Time'. With each book (my 4th has just gone off to publishers) I'm getting a little close to doing just that...
Avid admirer of authors everywhere.
Happy birthday to Russian writer and poet Mikhail Lermontov (October 15, 1814), author of the 1839 novel "A Hero of Our Time" et al.
@UCBerkeley alum. One of @pmarca's Unknown Rock Stars of Tech. Elected official (former). Bridging tech and policy. Views my own.
A far earlier example of this, way before even televisions - the great poet Mikhail Lermontov, who died in a duel at age 26. In a manner almost exactly the same as the death of his greatest character in his greatest novel, "A Hero of (Our) Time"
Praise for this book
-James Wood, London Review of Books
"[A] smart, spirited new translation."
-The Boston Globe
"One of the most vivid and persuasive portraits of the male ego ever put down on paper."
-Neil LaBute, from the Foreword
