Yevsey Tseytlin's Long Conversations in Anticipation of a Joyous Death came about as the result of an unusual experiment. Today, it is the source of debate in different countries in different languages.
Russian critic Lev Anninsky: "A tragic account, taken from the lips of a man who awaits death as a redemption from the torment of his conscience. The philosophical aspect of narrating one's own death is worthy of its own discussion, which should include Tolstoy's Ivan Ilyich, as well as the academic Pavlov, Nikolai Ostrovsky, and perhaps, that American intellectual who invited all who wished to observe his throes of agony via the Internet."
Professor Anatoly Liberman: "...By means of dialogue, reflections, and a collection of chance remarks is constructed so genuine a whole, illuminated by so tragic a light, that this book could be termed a novel, and not just any novel, but an exceptional one."
Dina Rubina: "Yevsey Tseytlin's book, Long Conversations in Anticipation of a Joyous Death, has no analogues in Russian literature. As far as world literature is concerned, it could be compared to Eckermann's work on Goethe, if the main character of Tseytlin's book could be compared to Goethe in anything other than longevity."
