  • MediaDB / «Mister Dead" Benjamin Weissman: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2006 / The label of “post-literature” that critics have attached to Benjamin Weissman’s prose is fully justified. For the author himself, literary creativity is a post-product of previously mastered professions, namely: a well-known artist, an avid skier - and... a porn film reviewer. The controversial author creates extremely contradictory prose: lyrical memories of childhood are side by side with a description of perverted mockery of a child. A love story full of lyricism - with a detailed commentary on the process of defecation in the first person. It is not surprising that opinions about Benjamin Weissman’s prose are directly opposite, but admiring reviews, perhaps, crowd out indignant ones. And only a few people think that the everyday and the extreme, tragedy and farce are equally necessary for a writer to create a portrait of the many-sided Person of the 21st century.
