The first scholarly study of the poet, Marat Grinberg's book substantially fills this critical lacuna in the current comprehension of Russian and Soviet literatures. Grinberg argues that Slutsky's body of work amounts to a Holy Writ of his times, which daringly fuses biblical prooftexts and stylistics with the language of late Russian Modernism and Soviet newspeak. The book is directed toward readers of Russian poetry and pan-Jewish poetic traditions, scholars of Soviet culture and history and the burgeoning field of Russian Jewish studies. Finally, it contributes to the general field of poetics and Modernism.Borderlines (Boston, Mass.)Russian poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismRussian literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticismRussian poetryHistory and criticism.Russian literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticism.891.71/44Grinberg Marat1977-1549988MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778937603321"I am to be read not from left to right, but in Jewish, from right to left"3808440UNINA
