Metaphysical author Yuri Mamleev has died aged 83 Alexandra Guzeva reports at Russia Beyond the Headlines.
Mamleev (as they transliterate his name -- it's: Юрий Мамлеев) hasn't made that much of an impression on English-speaking readers, but his passing was widely noted in the Russian press.
His The Sublimes was translated by Marian Schwartz, which is enough to at least make me perk up and take note; it's also available for free download from Haute Culture (though you can splurge on that 'luxury edition' as well); see also Lisa Hayden Espenschade's commentary (with links) at her Lizok's Bookshelf weblog; I will try to have a look at it at some point (hey, who doesn't love their writers metaphysical ?).
