The Observations of Aleksandr Svetlov
Summary
Octogenarian Aleksandr Svetlov keeps life simple these days, warding off loneliness with quiet routines and the company of his old cohort, Konstantin, or his young friend, the verse-writing bookseller Mikhail. A married man by training and temperament, his late wife absence is a constant presence. Presented by the poet Colette Bryce, this selection of Svetlov's gentle 'observations' sings of his unwavering sense of the realities of life.
