Nostalgia for a Foreign Land: Studies in Russian-Language Literature in Israel de Roman Katsman

Nostalgia for a Foreign Land: Studies in Russian-Language Literature in Israel

Autor Roman Katsman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 oct 2016
This volume focuses on several Russian authors among many who immigrated to Israel with the “big wave” of the 1990s or later, and whose largest part of their works was written in Israel: Dina Rubina, Nekod Singer, Elizaveta Mikhailichenko and Yury Nesis, and Mikhail Yudson. They are popular and active authors on the Israeli scene, in the printed and electronic media, and some of them are also editors of the renowned journals and authors of literary and cultural reviews and essays. They constitute a new generation of Jewish-Russian writers: diasporic Russians and new Israelis.

Recenzii

"When over a million Russians came to Israel between 1990 and 2010, they brought with them brains and brawn, violins and vodka, and the Russian language. But what could be more 'Trayf' in Israel then the Russian language? Isn't Russian in Israel a kind of Golden Calf, i.e. a manifestation of the psychological sediment formed from generations educated 'Their' way? And yet the Russian Jewish writers who 'repatriated' to Israel used Russian to give life to a 'metaphysical' literature, as Roman Katsman calls it. It is a literature that rejects the surface and speaks an inner language of transcendence and alienation. It is a Jewish literature that gives voice to an ephemeral moment--the Jew who lives in Hebrew, but whose origins in Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky provide a key to home anywhere and everywhere."
"Roman Katsman’s pioneering Nostalgia for a Foreign Land addresses one of the most impressive, unusual and intriguing literary phenomena in Russian since 1991: Russian-language prose in Israel. While aspiring to its synthetic study, the book covers a broad range of writers from an immensely popular contemporary fiction writer to a leading member of an experimental avant-garde group. This is an excellent, illuminating and cogent work; its in-depth literary analysis is rich in detail. The book makes no attempt to embellish the literary works it analyzes; their unquestionable aesthetic achievements and sometimes problematic ideologies are examined with attention and unfailing honesty. Within broader a context, this is a very significant contribution to the understanding of Jewish literature in Russian, as well as contemporary Jewish literary writing.”
With great knowledge of cultural studies and philosophy and with an impressive interpretive depth, Katsman … reflects on the works themselves. He manages to combine an oeuvre’s central semantic aspects in a comprehensive philosophical interpretation.
