Document:
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you.
- Works on theater and drama, among them P. Markov’s four-part On Theater (1974), A. Efros’ The Fourth Book (1993), G. Tovstonogov’s Conversations with Colleagues (1988), and works by O. Tabakov, Iya Savvina, Vitaly Venger and other actors. Irkutsk-specific works on theater include V. Sidorchenko’s The Irkutsk Enterprise (2003), S. Zhartun’s A Thread Connecting The Times (2010), and Flowers and Years: A Book About A Young Theater (2003, pres. L.V. Ioffe).
- Contemporary literature (fiction, criticism, memoirs), including books by V. Kurbatov, I. Zolotussky, P. Fokin, V. Zverovschikov, and N. Chindyaykin.

The library also contains miscellanea important to Vampilov studies, including catalogues of exhibitions, photo albums, sets of local postcards, booklets, original samizdat works, an audio/video archive and issues of local journals and magazines, many of which published Vampilov’s work. Among the publications available are Angara (also published as Siberia), Green Lamp, Theater, Matters of Literature, Neva, Moscow, Modern Play Writing, and Our Contemporary.
The lists below do not reflect the library’s full collection. Rather, they highlight only publications that are well known, several of which remain in print. In addition to these works, the library also contains archives encompassing magazines, newspapers, literary nonfiction, criticism, and memoirs relating to Vampilov that date between his death in 1972 and the present day. Any and all of our materials may be perused here in our library. This includes viewing films—among them adaptations of Vampilov’s plays to the screen and films dedicated to his life and work—and listening to recordings from our archives.
Please note that works available in English are limited. We do, however, provide all of the most recent English-language book-length scholarship currently available on Vampilov. This includes two books of criticism by Vreneli Farber, The Major Plays translated by Alma Law, and a new, as-yet-unpublished manuscript of Vampilov’s first collection of short fiction, A Confluence of Circumstances, translated by our former Fulbright scholar in residence, Nathan Goldstone.
