Walter Tevis, a classic of 20th-century American literature, is virtually unknown to Russian readers, but many know the equally classic films based on his works: Robert Rossen's "The Hustler," starring Paul Newman (and its sequel, Martin Scorsese's "The Color of Money," starring Paul Newman and Tom Cruise), as well as Nicolas Roeg's "The Man Who Fell to Earth," starring David Bowie. "Mockingbird" can be classified as an allegorical dystopia in the spirit of "Fahrenheit 451"; some critics have even called Tevis's book a kind of sequel to Bradbury's classic novel. In Tevis's "brave new world," robots rule a dying humanity that has lost all interest in life; but then one single person discovers the forbidden joy of reading—and then something completely unthinkable: love.
