hugely entertaining and witty (and often very funny) interlocutor' Wall Street
Journal
Watermark is Joseph Brodsky's witty, intelligent, moving and elegant portrait of
Venice. Looking at every aspect of the city, from its waterways, streets and
architecture to its food, politics and people, Brodsky captures its magnificence
and beauty, and recalls his own memories of the place he called home for many
winters, as he remembers friends, lovers and enemies he has encountered. Above
all, he reflects with great poetic force on how the rising tide of time affects
city and inhabitants alike.
Watermark is an unforgettable piece of writing, and a wonderful evocation of a
remarkable, unique city.
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
