Description

Olga Bakich’s biography of Valerii Pereleshin (1913–1992) follows the turbulent life and exquisite poetry of one of the most remarkable Russian émigrés of the twentieth century.

Born in Irkutsk, Pereleshin lived for thirty years in China and for almost forty years in Brazil.

Multilingual, he wrote poetry in Russian and in Portuguese and translated Chinese and Brazilian poetry into Russian and Russian and Chinese poetry into Portuguese.

For many years he struggled to accept and express his own identity as a gay man within a frequently homophobic émigré community.

His poems addressed his three homelands, his religious struggles, and his loves.

In Valerii Pereleshin: The Life of a Silkworm, Bakich delves deep into Pereleshin’s poems and letters to tell the rich life story of this underappreciated writer.
