- Summary:
- This study by Kolesnikoff (Russian, McMaster U., Canada) examines representative works of Russian postmodernist literature from the past three decades, focusing on texts that foreground the fictional character of literature (thereby engaging in metafiction) with new and innovative techniques. She highlights techniques involving narrative strategies, metafictional plot structures, characters as verbal constructs, "heterotopian" settings (in the Foucauldian sense of linking things that are inappropriate and/or incongruous), structure, stylistic experimentation, and eccentric typography.
