Dialogues with Shklovsky : The Duvakin Interviews 1967-1968

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.
