Between Dog and Wolf: Close Readings of Inbetweenness
Taking its cue from the novel’s title, this essay examines various forms of inbetweenness, or intermediacy, in Sasha Sokolov’s Between Dog and Wolf, especially as related to liminality, metamorphoses, hybridity, and unboundedness.

As the archetypal young prose writer of the 1960s, Vasilii Aksenov represented the hopes of the Khrushchev generation for the good life and for cultural and political liberalization. Rebelling against the ideological puritanism of socialist realism and the moral imperative of Russian literature, Aksenov's writing reflected the pleasure principle, hedonism, unofficial popular culture, and the aesthetics of consumption. He perceived life as a multi…
