Summary:
"In March 1953, four women meet in Room 408 of Moscow's deluxe Metropole Hotel. They have gathered, not altogether willingly, to reminisce about
Vladimir
Mayakovsky
, the poet who in death had become a national idol of Soviet Russia. In life, however, he was a much more complicated figure. Each of these ladies loved
Mayakovsky
in the course of his life, and as they piece together their memories of him, a portrait of the artist emerges. From his early years as a leader of the Futurist movement to years as a propagandist for the Revolution, to the censorship battles that turned him against the State,
Mayakovsky
is revealed as a passionate, complex man who lived at the center of history and fought to hold onto his ideals even in the face of a world changing for the worse. The
Mayakovsky
Tapes is an ambitious, impressive novel that captures the tumultuous life of one of the most significant writers of the Soviet era."--From publisher.
