Reviews for Andrei Siniavskii
"This detailed and perceptive study, nearly everywhere extremely well written,takes its readers in four chapters through the four periods of Siniavskii's life as a writer. [...] Markesinis comments politely on all the important earlier publications about Siniavskii and has something important to say about each of his works." - SEER, 96.2
