Biography

His best-known work, Novel With Cocaine (also translated as the Cocain Romance), was published in 1934 in the Parisian émigré publication, Numbers. Nikita Struve has alleged it to be the work of another Russian author employing a pen name - Vladimir Nabokov; this idea was debunked by Nabokov's son Dmitri in his preface to "The Enchanter". Levi's life is shrouded in mystery and conjecture. He seems to have returned to the U.S.S.R. in 1942 and spent the rest of his life in Yerevan, where he died on August 5, 1973.

gollark: Top bit is author.
gollark: ```"You mean that a program designed to let an unprivileged usermount/unmount/eject anything he wants has a security flaw because it allowshim to mount/unmount/eject anything he wants? I'm shocked."Unfortunately, sarcasm does not make you right. Yes, this is a critical security flaw, because anyone with calibre installed on their system now allows any user to gain root privileges by mounting on top of important directories. Just because your application allows this by design rather than by mistake doesn't make this less of a problem.```
gollark: Er, has.
gollark: Didn't it make its own SUID disk mounting thing which had several major bugs?
gollark: Yes, that.
