Title: Locating exiled writers in contemporary Russian literature
First published: 2010
Description: "Locating Exiled Writers in Contemporary Russian Literature proposes an interdisciplinary approach to reading and situating the narratives of repatriation produced by former exiles. It examines the work of exiles from the Soviet Union who returned to a reformed post-Soviet Russia to initiate narrative processes of self-definition at a time of social, political, and cultural transition. It is the first study to demonstrate how narratives of return variously reorganize the poetics of exilic writing and engage the reader in the project of constructing stable identities within a changing national imaginary."--Jacket.
