ABSTRACT
Personal quarrels are a staple of the Russian literary diet. Most fade into obscurity as quickly as they arise, although on occasion they are given lasting form.
At first blush, there is little in Vladimir Maximov’s play Far Away… In Other Lands to indicate that the émigré writer’s treatment of the controversial novelist Eduard Limonov will hold much interest in the future. But by a rare, if uneven, confluence of circumstances, the Gogol Drama Theater’s new production of it cannot be dismissed so easily.
