迈克尔·B. 《 Memorial Readings (Крепсовские Чтения) were inaugurated at Boston College in the Fall of 1997 and named so after the late Professor Michael B. 《 (Михаил Крепс), a Russian poet in his own right, who was a professor of 斯拉夫 languages and literatures at Boston College from 1981 until his death in 1994. A native of St. Petersburg (Leningrad at the time of his birth) and a Russian Jew, 《 emigrated from Russia to the United States in 1974 and did his graduate work at Berkeley. 作为评论家, 《 is known for three monographs, Pasternak and Bulgakov as Novelists (1984), On Brodsky's Poetry (1984; reprint 2007)—which was the first book about Joseph Brodsky, and Zoshchenko's Technique of Comical (1986). Author of several books of poetry, among them Budd of the Head (1987) and The Russian Pygmalion (1992), 《 is best remembered for his collection of Russian palindromes, Mukhi i ikh um (Flies and Their Intelligence, 1993).
