A Poet among Languages: The Multilingual Identity of Karolina Pavlova
Karolina Pavlova (1807-1893), Russia's foremost female poet of the nineteenth century, was a polyglot writing in Russian, German, and French. Her native trilingualism facilitated a fluid and performative ethno-linguistic identity at odds with the tenets of monolingual nationalism that pervaded at the time. While Pavlova has received considerable attention from feminist critics, her multilingualism remains an understudied topic. This article addre…
The Return of Marxist Discourse to Russian-American Fiction: Keith Gessen’s Novel A Terrible Country
While most of the immigrants who came to the United States from the former Soviet Union have become conservative Republicans, the generation of so-called Russian-American writers has rejected the right-wing politics of their parents in favor of a more liberal position. However, few of these authors go as far as embracing “communism” or Soviet-style state socialism. An interesting exception to this rule is the writer and journalist Keith Gessen. U…

Poems and Problems: Vladimir Nabokov's Dilemma of Poetic Self-Translation
The Testimonies of Russian and American Postmodern Poetry: Reference, Trauma, and History
Non-referentiality has frequently been invoked as a defining feature of postmodern poetry, including by its own practitioners. This book challenges this assumption. According to Albena Lutzkanova-Vassileva, the essence of postmodernism does not lie in a self-referential play of signifiers, but rather in the reflection of a concrete historic and traumatic reality. The author builds her argument by surveying selected works issuing from two major sc…
Brodsky Translating Brodsky: Poetry in Self-Translation
Joseph Brodsky's self-translations have until recently attracted astonishingly little scholarly attention, even though Brodsky, as the winner of the Nobel Prize and Poet Laureate of the United States, was the most highly decorated of all Russian-American literary immigrants. While his English essays have reaped universal praise, Brodsky's English-language poetry and self-translated poems have suffered from a rather mixed reputation. Partially, th…
Moving beyond the Russian-American Ghetto: The Fiction of Keith Gessen and Michael Idov
In the wake of Gary Shteyngart's novel The Russian Debutante's Handbook (2002), Russian-American immigrant fiction written in English has enjoyed an unprecedented boom in recent years. At the same time, a certain weariness seems to have settled in among some of the providers of these narratives. How can an immigrant author avoid being confined to an ethnic niche? This article explores this question by analyzing the work of two Russian-American au…

Gogol'’s “Portrait” Repainted: On Gary Shteyngart’s “Shylock on the Neva”
The Russian-American novelist Gary Shteyngart has frequently been called a “Gogolian” writer, usually in an attempt to explain the pedigree of his grotesque humour. This article focuses on Shteyngart’s story “Shylock on the Neva” (2002), which is a modern-day rewriting of Gogol'’s tale “Portret” [“The Portrait”]. A close analysis of Shteyngart’s text and comparison to its Gogolian model reveals a complex relation that is not necessarily centered …
Russian Hybrids: Identity in the Translingual Writings of Andreï Makine, Wladimir Kaminer, and Gary Shteyngart
Authors writing in a language other than their native tongue have become a common phenomenon in an era of increased international mobility. This article is devoted to three Russian-born émigré writers-Andreï Makine (b. 1957), Wladimir Kaminer (b. 1967), and Gary Shteyngart (b. 1972)-all of whom have achieved literary stardom with books written in French, German, and English, respectively. Although each of the three authors has a distinctive style…

From Subversion to Affirmation: The Prose Poem as a Russian Genre
The Russian prose poem was officially born in December 1882, when the journalVestnik Evropypublished Ivan Turgenev's last work, a collection of fifty "poems in prose"(stikhotvoreniia v proze). Although the generic title of Turgenev's prose miniatures seems to echo Charles Baudelaire'sPetits Poemès en prose(1869), the fate of the prose poem in Russia turned out very differently from that in its country of origin.

Populism and Romantic Agony: A Russian Terrorist's Discovery of Baudelaire
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) has been hailed by followers in many countries as a forerunner of symbolism, if not as the father of modern poetry tout court. In Russia, Andrei Belyi celebrated him together with Nietzsche in 1909 as a "Patriarkh Simvolizma"; and Valerii Briusov wrote in the same year: "Is it possible to question the importance of Baudelaire's Fleurs du mal for the formation of the whole worldview of modernity?" Ellis (L.L. Kobylin…
The Translator in the Text: On Reading Russian Literature in English
What does it mean to read one nation's literature in another language? considerable popularity of Russian literature in the English-speaking world rests almost entirely upon translations: the many competing versions of major works, and the continuing publication of new and revised translations, suggest the inherently complex interplay between language and literature. In The Translator in the Text, Rachel May analyzes Russian literature in English…
