Informationen zum Autor Lara Vapnyar Klappentext Tanya is a typical teenager living with her bookish professor mother in a cramped Soviet apartment. She is obsessed with Dostoyevksy! and noticing that he always portrays his mistress and muse in his novels-never his wife-she determines to become a companion to a great writer. Her opportunity comes when! as a college graduate newly emigrated to America! she attends a Manhattan bookstore reading by Mark Schneider! a Significant New York Novelist. Tanya quickly moves in with Mark! ready to dazzle in bed! to serve and inspire . . . if only he would spend a little more time writing. But as she struggles to better understand her role as Muse! Tanya also learns more than she expected about the destiny she has imagined for herself. A touching and very funny novel in the great tradition of Russian realism! Memoirs of a Muse is also a lively meditation on the mysteries and absurdities of artistic inspiration.
