Mikhail Bakhtin's Heritage in Literature, Arts, and Psychology. Art and Answerability
This abundant volume of essays on the thought of the Russian philosopher and literary scholar Mikhail Bakhtin is partly mislabelled. The title is apt in that 2018, the year of the volume's publication marked the centennial of Bakhtin's “Art and Answerability,” which several of the essays in the volume address; but if “heritage” implies a succession through time of responses to Bakhtin, then most of the essays collected here really take his ideas …

Depicting the Divine. Mikhail Bulgakov and Thomas Mann
Olga G. Voronina's careful comparative study brings to light many of the parallel narrative strategies in Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita and Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers. Both are modernist polemics with a biblical text (the Gospels and their account of the passion of Christ, in Bulgakov's case; the Old Testament account of Joseph's captivity in Egypt, in Mann's). Both works, despite their retrospective cast, engage in dialo…
A Companion to Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit
Written at the height of Stalin's first "five-year plan" for the industrialization of Soviet Russia and the parallel campaign to collectivize Soviet agriculture, Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit registers a dissonant mixture of utopian longings and despair. Furthermore, it provides essential background to Platonov's parody of the mainstream Soviet "production" novel, which is widely recognized as one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century R…

"Illusion" and Its Workings in Modern Russian Culture
La culture russe peut etre qualifiee par l'attraction qu'exercent sur elle les phenomenes comme l'illusion, le masque et meme le trompe-l'oeil. L'A. nous donne les exemples de ces phenomenes depuis les regnes de Catherine la Grande et Pierre le Grand (villeges de Potemkine, proto-Disneylands de la noblesse russe), a travers l'ere sovietique (photos retouchees des dirigents sovietiques) jusqu'a l'ere post-communiste (avec les grands cetres commerc…

Suspicion toward Narrative: "The Nose and the Problem of Autonomy in Gogol's "Nos
In the final version of Nos that Gogol prepared for his 1842 Sochineniia, it is 25 March when Kovalev discovers he has no nose and 7 April when the appendage mysteriously reappears.' In light of Russian cultural history these dates can hardly appear innocent: the twelve-day gap between them is precisely that obtaining in the nineteenth century between Russia's Julian calendar and the Gregorian chronography of the West, so that the nose is in fact…
Yury Trifonov. A Critical Study
Trifonov'sDom na naberezhnoiand the Fortunes of Aesopian Speech
In both the west and the Soviet Union the reputation of the late lurii Trifonov has come to rest principally on the candor with which his works, particularly those of his Moscow cycle, examine ethical themes. To non-Soviet scholars Trifonov offers the appealing biography of a writer who, having begun his career with a Stalinist novel (Studenty, 1950), nonetheless welcomed the Thaw (Utolenie zhazhdy, 1963) and then evolved into a chronicler of the…
