Critics Review
“This biography, which is structured like an illustrated listicle, looks at all the ways the Russian novelist’s vulnerability countered masculine norms of his era.” * Publishers Weekly *“There’s an odd prejudice that it’s shameful for men to cry. Leo Tolstoy had a lot of characteristics that are traditionally considered manly: he was brave, physically strong and hardy, ardent, and determined. However, he often cried. Artist Katya Gushchina shows us in a very cheerful and moving manner how, when, and under what circumstances he shed his tears, thus challenging one of the most common gender stereotypes.” – Andrei Zorin, Professor and Chair of Russian at the University of Oxford, Author of Leo Tolstoy
