A Biography
"Let it be said immediately: this biography is a masterpiece. It is the kind of monumental, deeply penetrating life survey that is written once in ten years, at most." -Dagens Nyheter "This will of course become a standard work, not only as the first non-Soviet biography of Mayakovsky but because of Jangfeldt's exclusive access to sources. For more than three decades he has had intimate contacts with people from the poet's circle. The richness of detail in the captivating tale we now have access to is a result of his important private archive." -Aftenbladet
