Combining burlesque absurdism and lofty references to classical and Russian High Modernist literature with a rather tongue-in-cheek plot about the struggles of an industrializing rural proletariat, this "Soviet pastoral" actually appeared in the official press in 1931 (though it was quickly removed from circulation). As a renegade classics scholar, Egunov was aware of the expressive potential latent in so-called "light genres"-Beyond Tula is a modernist pastoral jaunt that leaves the reader with plenty to ponder.Cultural revolutions.20th century literatureFaustLeningradOBERIURussian High Modernist literatureRussian literatureSoviet literatureTolstoyabsurdabsurdismfictionhomosexual romanceliterary fictionliteraturenoveloperapastoralproduction noveltwentieth century literatureLITERARY CRITICISM / GeneralbisacshSoviet UnionFiction20th century literature.Faust.Leningrad.OBERIU.Russian High Modernist literature.Russian literature.Soviet literature.Tolstoy.absurd.absurdism.fiction.homosexual romance.literary fiction.literature.novel.opera.pastoral.production novel.twentieth century literature.20th century literature.Faust.Leningrad.OBERIU.Russian High Modernist literature.Russian literature.Soviet literature.Tolstoy.absurd.absurdism.fiction.homosexual romance.literary fiction.literature.novel.opera.pastoral.production novel.twentieth century literature.LITERARY CRITICISM / General.891.7342Egunov-Nikolev Andrei, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1661253Morse Ainsley1661254DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910810538003321Beyond Tula4017071UNINA
