"I am to be read not from left to right, but in Jewish: from right to left"

About "I am to be read not from left to right, but in Jewish: from right to left"

Boris Slutsky (1919-1986) is a major original figure of Russian poetry of the second half of the twentieth century whose oeuvre has remained unexplored and unstudied. The first scholarly study of the poet, Marat Grinberg's book substantially fills this critical lacuna in the current comprehension of Russian and Soviet literatures. Grinberg argues that Slutsky's body of work amounts to a Holy Writ of his times, daringly fusing biblical prooftexts and stylistics with the language of late Russian Modernism and Soviet newspeak.
