The Last Years of Soviet Russian Literature: Prose Fiction 1975 1991

By Deming Brown

This is a comprehensive survey of developments in Russian prose over the last 15 years of the Soviet regime. Deming Brown examines the work of established writers, such as Fazil Iskander and Andrei Bitov, together with many new figures who emerged during this period. Special attention is given to the evolving patterns of publication during the period: the rehabilitation of suppressed writers and the first publication of writings that had formerly belonged to the literary underground. This is an introduction, of interest to scholars and students alike, to the varied writings of some 80 contemporary Russian authors and to trends in literary criticism and publication.
