The sirin defense : Berlin, Paris, and interwar Russian literature
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- "The Sirin Defense: Berlin, Paris, and Interwar Russian Literature" presents several cross-sections of the Russian literary emigration between 1920 and 1940, focusing in particular on the work of Vladimir Nabokov and Vladislav Khodasevich. Close readings of novels, poetry, memoirs, and criticism are informed by an attention to the emerging cultural formations of interwar France and Germany, in particular cinema, urban surface culture, and professional chess. Particular prominence is given to the relationship between a writer's life and his art within the publishing context of the Russian emigration. The changing careers of Nabokov and Khodasevich are presented as self-conscious case studies in answer to the question, how does one become a writer in exile?.
