- Summary:
- "Valery Podoroga was one of the most important thinkers of his generation. Here he gives a panoramic view of Russian writing, centering on the work of Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Andrei Bely. These are the pioneers of an "other literature," a new form of mimesis or vision of the world, in opposition to imperial and national myths"-- Provided by publisher.
