Bunin and His Lolita
La question de l’influence de Bounine sur le roman Lolita de Nabokov a à peine retenu l’attention des spécialistes des deux écrivains. Cet article propose une réévaluation à la fois chronologique et rétrospective du corpus des fictions de Bounine, notamment à travers le prisme des romans américains Lolita et de L’Enchanteur , le prédécesseur de Lolita . Cet article défend l’hypothèse selon laquelle le thème de l’amour interdit envers de très jeun…

Voices of Jewish-Russian Literature
This definitive and comprehensive anthology of major nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, nonfiction and poetry by eighty Jewish-Russian writers explores both timeless themes and specific tribulations of a people’s history.
With or Without You
In his captivating new book, author and scholar Maxim D. Shrayer offers a richly journalistic portrait of Russia’s dwindling yet still vibrant Jewish community. This is simultaneously an in-depth exploration of the texture of Jewish life in Putin’s Russia and an émigré’s moving elegy for Russia’s Jews.

Netting the Butterfly Man
In this essay, we examine the role of Vladimir Nabokov in W. G. Sebald's The Emigrants (1992; Eng. tr. 1996), both as a character in the novel (as the unannounced "butterfly man") and as an intertextual and metaphysical point of reference. It is our contention that this authorial intervention on Sebald's part may stem from the fact that both the German-born Sebald and the Russian-born Nabokov were spiritual witnesses to the Shoah, and though they…

Dostoevskii, the Jewish Question, and The Brothers Karamazov
In this article, Maxim D. Shrayer offers a new perspective on Fedor Dostoevskii's writings about the Jews. Following a trajectory initiated by Vladimir Solov'ev and Leonid Grossman, Shrayer argues that for Dostoevskii the Jewish question is primarily religious, rather than social or ethnic. Through close textual analysis, but also by placing the controversial blood libel episode fromThe Brothers Karamazovin the larger context of Dostoevskii's fic…
The World of Nabokov's Stories
The world of Nabokov's stories
This is a choice magazine outstanding academic book. A century after his birth, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) remains controversial, provocative, and cool. Yet while he receives acclaim as a major American writer, few of his admirers in the West know the unique place he occupies in his native Russian tradition. In this captivating interpretation of Nabokov's career through the prism of his short fiction, Maxim D. Shrayer explores how Nabokov eclip…
After Rapture and Recapture
Why Are the Cranes Still Flying
In 1991, Cranes Are Flying was shown in the Providence, Rhode Island, Public Library as part of a spring festival of Russian culture. Present in the audience-composed heavily of Russian emigres-was my eighty-year-old grandmother, Anna M. Studnits. Later, I asked her whether the film-now viewed from the estranged vantage point of a Russian emigre in the U.S.still had a powerful impact upon her. The print was scratched, the sound was poor, but I st…
