Three Interviews with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (2003-7) --$tNotes --$tSelected Bibliography --$tIndex 330 $aRichard Tempest examines Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's evolution as a literary artist from his early autobiographical novel Love the Revolution to the experimental mega-saga The Red Wheel, and beyond. Tempest shows how this author gives his characters a presence so textured that we can readily imagine them as figures of flesh and blood and thought and feeling. The study discusses Solzhenitsyn's treatment of Lenin, Stalin, and the Russian revolution; surprising predilection for textual puzzles and games à la Nabokov or even Borges; exploration of erotic themes; and his polemical interactions with Russian and Western modernism. Also included is new information about the writer's life and art provided by his family, as well as Tempest's interviews with him in 2003-07. 606 $aRussia in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRussia in literature. 676 $a891.734 700 $aTempest$b Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01030456 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467790903321 996 $aOverwriting Chaos$92447350 997 $aUNINA
