Asya Pekurovskaya

I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia. You can call me a person who writes incessantly. You can also blame me for not writing lucidly. But let me tell you: writing is a tricky matter. As soon as a thought finds its way to paper, it starts making its demands on the author. It wants to be written in a number of different ways. As a result, it becomes ornamental. That ornamental property however, serves not to embellish a thought, but, rather, to resist its manifest lucidity. For a thought that we take to be clear, in fact veils a sweep of hidden meanings. And the more curious a reader's mind is, the more it resists this apparent crispness of a clear thought. Besides, it is ornamental features that make author's style vibrant and readers' minds engaged.

Here is a selected list of my published books:

"As I happened to sing with S.D.", a memoir (2001).

"Passions according to Dostoevsky: the Mechanisms of Desire" (2004).
