一九八八年十—月,苏联作家安德烈·谢尔盏耶夫到纽约拜访老朋友约瑟夫·布罗茨基,两个人谈论文学,后者询问道,新的小说创作中你最看重谁?谢尔盖耶夫回答说:“萨沙·索科洛夫的《狗与狼之间》。”布罗茨基说:萨沙·索科洛夫只是莫斯科和列宁格勒的中等水平,没有什么独特的东西,新人中最棒的是库特济。谢尔盖耶夫不同意这个观点,他反驳道:“我读过库特济的《等待野蛮人》,不喜欢,像是一个外省的卡夫卡。” From September to December 1988, Soviet writer André Cherzelyev visited his old friend Joseph Brodsky in New York City. Two people talked about literature. The latter inquired about what you value most in your new fiction Who? Sergeiyev replied: “Sasha Sokolov’s” between dogs and wolves. “” Brodsky said: Sasha Sokolov is only Moscow and Leningrad Medium level, nothing special, the best of the newcomers is Kutchie. Sergeyev, disagreeing with this view, retorted: “I read Kutchie’s” waiting for the barbarians “and did not like Kafka, a provincial governorate.”
