Five Stars Read this book.. A riveting "fictional" account of a bizarre life From the outside, the life and adventures of an audacious, charismatic personality like Eduard Limonov – radical, poet, drifter, National-Bolshevik – seems attractive, interesting, intriguing. And even if people don’t agree with his politics (few do), “they like his fiery persona. A literary biography of a fascinating yet deeply sad man who seems to have lived literally ten different lives A sort of dual literary/historical biography and autobiography, Carrere recounts the life of a shockingly worldly right wing agitator while at the same time discussing aspects of his own life, of how Russia in the 90s looked to actual Russians, and of his own simultaneous admiration and disgust with his
Carrère recognizes the risk of being seduced by his subject's outsize life and macho self-mythologizing. All of it ripples outward from one unusual question: What might it mean to try to love someone who was convinced he only wanted to be feared?” Gideon Lewis-Kraus, author of A Sense of Direction“This deft, timely translation of French writer and filmmaker Carrère's sparkling 2011 biography of Eduard Limonov is an enthralling portrait of a man and his times.

It's a dangerous life, an ambiguous life: a real adventure novel. Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times and The Guardian (London) A thrilling page-turner that also happens to be the biography of one of Russia's most controversial figuresThis is how Emmanuel Carrère, the magnetic journalist, novelist, filmmaker, and chameleon, describes his subject: "Limonov is not a fictional character. Limonov could be read as a charming picaresque. He has been a young punk in Ukraine, the idol of the Soviet underground; a bum, then a multimillionaire's butler in Manhattan; a fashionable writer in Paris; a lost soldier in the Balkans; and now, in the fantastic shambles of postcommunism, the elderly but charismatic leader of a party of youn
