On Russian Postmodernist Novels (overview of Western Postmodernist Novels)

About This Novel

Russian postmodernist literature quietly emerged, rose rapidly, and faded in just 30 years. However, it filled the gap in Russian literature after the collapse of the Soviet Union and reflected people's common self-imagination, anxiety and desires in the inner world in a specific historical period. Its ideological and poetic characteristics also provided creative experience for the later New Russian Literature. This book aims to use the theories of historical materialism and dialectical materialism and chronological means to sort out and study Russian postmodernist novels in different periods, and to explore the ideological and artistic values ​​of Russian postmodernist novels. In the 1970s, "avant-garde" writers deconstructed tradition, subverted authority, and expressed repressed carnival in their works. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, postmodern writers represented by Markkanin and Pelevin reflected on history and reality and gradually returned to the tradition of realism. In addition, Nabokov's literary thought, aesthetic tradition and creative art have exerted an explicit or implicit influence on Russian postmodernist writers. Dovlatov and others used "fragmented" "authentic narrative" techniques to show the "absurd reality" and identity anxiety in immigrant life.
