Beschreibung:
In a 1967–68 interview to be published posthumously, the founder of Russian formalism Viktor Shklovsky spoke freely and without fear of censorship about life in Russia and his relationship with other famous artists and literary theorists. This volume offers the first English translation of the six-hour phono-document.
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.
