Andrey Gritsman lives on borders as on the edges of a crystal ball, reflecting light, color, and power all around. Gifted poet and sharp essayist, passionate thinker and master of games, sleepless mind and energy dedicated to art, time-bomb of ideas at the crossroad of himself, strong creation out of Europe, out of the American Way, out of the Spirit of Internationalism. This book shows the unique dimension of an artist living between common stars and exquisite earth. -Carmen Firan

Long Fall is a must read for students of poetic translation, a primer for students of Russian-American Letters as well as a beginner’s guide for those interested in probing the arc of literary historical projection.
