Reconstructing the Canon - Russian Writing in the 1980's (Hardcover)

In the 1980s Soviet Communism gave way to a diversity of unfettered writing seemingly representing the disillusion with literature itself. This third volume in the "Studies in Russian and European Literature" series highlights the work of some of Russia's most promising young writers presenting their work for the first time in English. Also included is a controversial article that reviews Russian writing as an extension of Imperialism.
