The collection of critical and autobiographical essays from Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Brodsky that catapulted the authorheretofore known more for his poetry and translationsinto the forefront of the "Third Wave" of Russian émigré writers.
His insights into the works of Dostoyevsky, Mandelstam, Platonov, as well as non-Russian poets Auden, Cavafy and Montale are brilliant. While the Western popularity of many other Third Wavers has been stunted by their inability to write in English, Brodsky consumed the language to attain a "closer proximity" to poets such as Auden. Less Than One, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, opens and closes with revealing autobiographical essay.
