Jan Pototcki's novel (to David, Ol'ga, and Aleksandra)

[Olga Meerson]

Volokhonsky\s and Khvostenko's "Orlandina" was written in 1964 or so--and it is direct from The Saragossa Manuscript. I am keenly interested in restoring the primary importance of many of the two poets' collaborative works for the formation of the spirit and the poetic heritage of St. Petersburg, Moscow's, and beyond's 1960s Russian culture. I know quite a bit about their work and am their great "champion".
