Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1977. Binding: Hardcover, dust jacket Pages: 270 From review of the book by Marina T. Naumann: "This recent analysis of Nabokov's work is an Oxford Modern Language and Literature Monograph, and as such is part of a series established to publish high-quality works which have a wide interest yet "constitute distinguished specialist contributions to their subject." The author, a lecturer in Russian at the University of St. Andrews, has achieved these aims. As a critic of Nabokov, Dr. Grayson addressed herself to a popular subject. At the same time she makes a scholarly, objective study of Nabokov's unexplored "auto-translations." Often this topic leads her into some fascinating tangential discussions on the use of fantasy and sound instrumentation, on foreignness, and on exhibitionist tendencies in Nabokov's writings, to give but a few examples. In the first chapter, Grayson notes Nabokov's many different translations; those into English, into Russian, into English… Read More

New York: Oxford University Press, 1974. Binding: Hardcover Pages: 324, illustrations Alfred Appel Jr. was an American professor, author and journal editor noted for his investigations into the works of Vladimir Nabokov, modern art, and jazz modernism. He edited The Annotated Lolita, an edition of Nabokov's Lolita. He also authored four other books about Nabokov, literature and music. As a student at Cornell University, Appel took a course from Nabokov. His education was interrupted by a stint in the Army, after which he completed his undergraduate education and PhD in English Literature at Columbia University in 1963. Nabokov's best critic here demonstrates how extraordinarily important the material of popular culture can be in the creation of works of high art. Lolita takes a central place in this book: Mr. Appel discusses its roots in American popular culture, Nabokov's part in the making of Kubrik's filmed version, and the film itself. All of Nabokov's works are treated, and many other… Read More

Санкт-Петербург: Liga Plus, 1999. New Book. Binding: Hardcover 128 pp. with illustrations This edition is a rather venture. For the most part, the album consists of the photographs from the family estates of the Nabokov, as well as the pictures of the family estates near St. Petersburg where the eminent author spent the summers of his boyhood and youth. Together with the quotations from Nabokov's works, they make a fascinating background to the novels based on his early experiences: Speak, Memory, Mary, The Defense, The Gift.

Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999. New Book. Hardcover, dust jacket, 303 pp. "Pale Fire" is regarded by many as Vladimir Nabokov's masterpiece. The novel has been hailed as one of the most striking early examples of postmodernism and has become a famous test case for theories about reading because of the apparent impossibility of deciding between several radically different interpretations. Does the book have two narrators, as it first appears, or one? How much is fantasy and how much is reality? Whose fantasy and whose reality are they? Brian Boyd, Nabokov's biographer and hitherto the foremost proponent of the idea that "Pale Fire" has one narrator, John Shade, now rejects this position and presents a new and startlingly different solution that will permanently shift the nature of critical debate on the novel. Boyd argues that the book does indeed have two narrators, Shade and Charles Kinbote, but reveals that Kinbote had some strange and highly surprising help in writing his sections.… Read More

Tate, 2019. New Book. Paperback. 224 pp. Natalia Goncharova (1881-1962), a key figure of the modernist art movement, gained international fame for her trailblazing experiments in painting and design. Early in her career, she established herself as a leader of the Russian avant-garde with a major show in Moscow in 1913. In France, Goncharova's talents were noticed by Sergei Diaghilev; soon, she was designing costumes and backdrops for Ballets Russes performances in major cities throughout Europe. Goncharova's artistic output traces, influences, and transcends the art movements of the 20th century. She paraded through the streets of Moscow displaying futurist body art, yet worked on religious murals; she participated in avant-garde cinema and created stage designs; she even illustrated socialist newspapers. This book, along with the exhibition it accompanies, explores her diverse sources and influences, from Russian folk art and textile designs to the latest trends in modernism and beyond.… Read More

Picador, 2005. New Book. Paperback. 160 pp. Few readers had heard of David Bezmozgis before May 2003, when Harper's, Zoetrope, and The New Yorker all printed stories from his forthcoming collection. In the space of a few weeks, America thus met the Bermans - Bella and Roman and their son, Mark - Russian Jews who have fled the Riga of Brezhnev for Toronto, the city of their dreams. Told through Mark's eyes, the stories in Natasha possess a serious wit and uniquely Jewish perspective that recall the first published stories of Bernard Malamud and Philip Roth, not to mention the recent work of Jhumpa Lahiri, Nathan Englander, and Adam Haslett. A dazzling debut - and a publishing phenomenon - the tender, savagely funny collection from a young immigrant who has taken the critics by storm. Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' First Book Prize for Canada and the Caribbean, the Toronto Book Award, Reform Judaism Prize for Jewish Fiction, Koffler Centre of the Arts' Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Jewish Book… Read More

Michigan: Dzanc Books, 2018. New book. Paperback 228 pp. Béatrice, a solitary young jazz singer from a genteel Parisian suburb, meets a mysterious woman named Polina. Polina visits her at night and whispers in her ear: 'There are people who leave their bodies and their bodies go on living without them. These people are named Natasha.

But as he prepares for the audition, he starts falling in love with the psychopath he is to play. Béatrice and César are drawn deeper into a city populated with visions and warnings, taunted by the chorusing of a group of young women, trapped in a windowless room, who all share the same name ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2021. New Book. Hardcover, dustjacket. 280 pp. A fascinating account of Russia's famous dissident and the politics he embodies. Who is Alexei Navalny? Poisoned in August 2020 and transported to Germany for treatment, the politician returned to Russia in January 2021 in the full glare of the world media. His immediate detention at passport control set the stage for an explosive showdown with Vladimir Putin. But Navalny means very different things to different people. To some, he is a democratic hero. To others, he is betraying the Motherland. To others still, he is a dangerous nationalist. This book explores the many dimensions of Navalny's political life, from his pioneering anti-corruption investigations to his ideas and leadership of a political movement. It also looks at how his activities and the Kremlin's strategies have shaped one another. Navalny makes sense of this divisive character, revealing the contradictions of a man who is the second most important… Read More

Oxford University Press, USA, 2017. New Book. Hardcover. 408 pp. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, it invaded Georgia. Both states are part of Russia's near abroad - newly independent states that were once part of the Soviet Union and are now Russia's neighbors. While the Russia-Georgia war of 2008 faded from the headlines in the wake of the global recession, the geopolitical contest that created it did not. Six years later, the spectre of a revanchist Russia returned when Putin's forces invaded and annexed the Crimean peninsula, once part of Russia but an internationally recognized part of Ukraine since the Soviet collapse. Crimea's annexation and follow on conflict in eastern Ukraine have generated the greatest geopolitical crisis on the European continent since the end of the Cold War. In Near Abroad, the eminent political geographer Gerard Toal moves beyond the polemical rhetoric that surrounds Russia's interventions in Georgia and Ukraine to study the underlying territorial conflicts and… Read More

Paperback. 384 pp. Spanning nearly a century, from 1930s Siberia to contemporary Brighton Beach, a page turning, epic family saga centering on three generations of women in one Russian Jewish family--each striving to break free of fate and history, each yearning for love and personal fulfillment--and how the consequences of their choices ripple through time.

Columbia Global Reports, 2018. New Book. Hardcover. 156 pp. A haunting literary and visual journey deep into Russia's past-and present. The Gulag was a monstrous network of labor camps that held and killed millions of prisoners from the 1930s to the 1950s. More than half a century after the end of Stalinist terror, the geography of the Gulag has been barely sketched and the number of its victims remains unknown. Has the Gulag been forgotten? Writer Masha Gessen and photographer Misha Friedman set out across Russia in search of the memory of the Gulag. They journey from Moscow to Sandarmokh, a forested site of mass executions during Stalin's Great Terror; to the only Gulag camp turned into a museum, outside of the city of Perm in the Urals; and to Kolyma, where prisoners worked in deadly mines in the remote reaches of the Far East. They find that in Vladimir Putin's Russia, where Stalin is remembered as a great leader, Soviet terror has not been forgotten-it was never remembered in the first… Read More
