"Carrere brings the whole to sharp focus with a few jarring truths
and a moment of great beauty. You leave its last pages with a deep
appreciation for life." --"Washington Post" "An elegant, emotional
self-examination, full of bleak but truthful insights about the
lies and compromises of love."--"The Times "(UK) "Brims with ideas
and incidents... Gripping and fascinating, an intimate portrait of
a complicated man's inner life and his struggles to find some kind
of happiness and fulfilment."--"The Guardian ("UK) "Fascinating,
troubling... Mesmerizing."--"The Times" (UK) "Lucid and
compelling... Carrere pushes candor to quite pitiless extremes.
This book is very much at the crossroads of writing-as-therapy and
the sort of fact-fiction blurring that fans of WG Sebald and Geoff
Dyer will appreciate."--"The Independent" (UK) "Even by the high
standards set by his earlier books, Emmanuel Carrere's "My Life as
A Russian Novel" is a masterpiece, a searingly candid,
breathtakingly beautiful exploration of territories both far and
near: Russia and France; the past and the present; brutality and
love; the inscrutable desires of the other and the often equally
unfathomable motivations of the self. This is an unforgettable book
from the most original, exciting, and important figure in
contemporary French literature."
--Caroline Weber, author of "Queen of Fashion: What Marie
Antoinette Wore to the Revolution" "Emmanuel Carrere has written a
work of infinite sorrow, infernal jealousy, and violent passion.
"My Life as a Russian Novel" dazzles. "
--"Le Monde" "An exceptional book in which the adversary, this
time, is Carrere himself, revealed in a lucid, unflinching
analysis.... Remarkable."
--"Le Figaro"
