Description

Dialogues with Shklovsky: The Duvakin Interviews 1967-1968 reflects the spirit of times-when the most dramatic events of the twentieth century were happening in Russia and the USSR. The first English translation of the 1967-1968 interviews with the founder of the Formalist School of literary theory, Viktor Shklovsky, this volume offers a slice of Russian micro-history that relies on the living voice of that history. Through the transcription of a six-hour phono-document, the readers will hear the voice of a real participant in events that for the longest time in the USSR were forbidden to be discussed or written about. Review Gratchev's translation and his and Evdokimova's accompanying notes, make reading the interviews an edifying pleasure; their copious glosses of key figures and historical events are invaluable. . . This is an amazing text--as a historical document, as a work of literary scholarship, and as a treasure trove of passing insights and quirky metaphors. We are lucky to have it available to us in translation.--The Russian Review "I knew almost everyone," - Viktor Shklovsky told his interviewer in 1968. He certainly did. A major contributor to the history and theory of art and literature in Russia, Shklovsky was at the center of the avant-garde movement of the 1910s-1920s, and his warning - "Do not forget that we were all crazy at that time" - captures well the hopes, the aspirations, and the audacity of early Soviet writers, poets, and artists. Witty and opinionated, these interviews bring the reader into the midst of the exciting and eccentric milieu of those who had energy and talent to envision a world of art that never existed before. Accompanied by detailed commentaries, this collection is a great addition to the history of Russian culture of the twentieth century.--Serguei Oushakine, Princeton University What did Khlebnikov make of Mandelstam's poetry; why did Shklovsky consider 'Doctor Zhivago' an unremarkable novel; and how were Mayakovsky and Blok involved with Russian Formalism? If you want to know the answers, read Duvakin's quirky interviews with Victor Shklovsky: a treasure trove of knowledge and vivid impressions of post-1917 Russian culture.--Galin Tihanov, George Steiner Professor of Comparative Literature, Queen Mary University of London About the Author Slav N. Gratchev is associate professor of Spanish at Marshall University. Irina Evdokimova is an independent scholar and former attorney.
