Andrei BitovCritiques

Good heavens what a writer. A travelogue of Armenia that leaves you with both no knowledge at all about the place but also knowing everything. A writer who simultaneously tells us what is going on inside his head, gives us his view of the landscape, hovers above us in a helicopter and gives us the eagle eyed version and interprets it into the meaning of life. Full of digressions and full of detail but also the biggest of big pictures. Dear me that was a good read.
