Life as a Literary Device:
A Writer's Manual of Survival
Life as a Literary Device: A Writer's Manual of Survival is both a summation and a new beginning for Vitaliev. The book is an analysis of how literature has bound his life and an exploration of how to survive in the modern world.
Vitaliev is the Ukranian-born cultural commentator and journalist whose life has been spent exploring the curious, the unusual and the plain dotty manifestations of human life around the world. The author of cult classics, such as Dreams on Hitler's Couch and Passport to Enclavia, Vitaliev has a tremendously wry take on the human species as it goes about its daily life.
Now in paperback: This first paperback edition of the book contains a new sizeable Introduction (or rather an ‘Addition’), which includes Vitali’s hitherto unpublished conversation with Rudolf Nureyev – the dying great dancer's very last interview – and other memories of Vitali's life in the years since the book’s original publication in 2009.
