description: Fiction. Russian-American Studies. Composed of 270 free sonnets inspired by Pushkin's Evgeny Onegin, OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL is a stunning edifice in language that proposes and enacts an intimate and restive portrait of life in Russia today. The fruit of many years' interest in, study of, and travel through the country, OXOTA (which means "the hunt" in Russian) transforms with epic confidence Hejinian's social and artistic life abroad into a richly peopled landscape, into a literature brimming with signification.
