I have * * *: A Novel and it looks extremely promising! To be reported in more detail soon. And as for this "not written in 35 years", *** is actually mid-90s, I think. So a bit outside usual BBC purview, but I refuse to be deterred.Thanks for starting this thread / giving me a prod to actually read this.

The 2003 edition of Detour (1977) from Six Gallery Press is "vastly expanded". And don't listen to those who say he's not written in the last 35 years ; in 2007, his collection Limit Point (complete with review!). You can find some Brodsky=extracts @ http://www.webdelsol.com/4Walls8Windo...
This guy's BURIED. The associated BIG names == Dostoevsky (underground=man), Kafka, Beckett. People say 'ontology' when speaking of Brodsky.
I've managed to drag home from The Village Bookshop two volumes :: Circuits and Project, And Other Short Pieces because other Brodsky's weren't on the shelf.
Some of you may already have a piece of Brodsky's Werk-in-Progress, Invidicum, in the form of an extract in The Review of Contemporary Fiction: The Failure Issue: Spring 2011. I'll be revisiting that one today.
