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. 410 0$aBorderlines (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aRussian poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRussian literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRussian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRussian literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a891.71/44 700 $aGrinberg$b Marat$f1977-$0877268 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457273103321 996 $a"I am to be read not from left to right, but in Jewish, from right to left"$92464208 997 $aUNINA
