The first volume of 'Late and Post-Soviet Russian Literature: A Reader'
introduces a diverse spectrum of literary works from Perestroika to the
present. It includes poetry, prose, drama and scholarly texts, many of
which appear in English translation for the first time. The three
sections, "Rethinking Identities," "'Little Terror' and Traumatic
Writing," and "Writing Politics," address issues of critical relevance
to contemporary Russian culture, history and politics. With its
selection of texts and introductory essays 'Late and Post-Soviet Russian
Literature: A Reader' brings university curricula into the twenty-first
century.
