Trade Review
"This is an excellent book; it will be very important for the field of Russian studies. Emery is a scholar to watch." --Eliot Borenstein, New York University "Jacob Emery is extremely erudite and summons an impressive array of philosophical and theoretical texts to develop his argumentation, drawing upon a deep knowledge of both Russian and Western European literature. The analyses of individual works are fresh and illuminating." --Jenny Kaminer, author of Women with a Thirst for Destruction: The Bad Mother in Russian Culture
