Lydia Ginzburg's Prose
Princeton University Press (Verlag)
978-0-691-16679-7 (ISBN)
Searching for a new concept of the self, and deeming the psychological novel (a beloved academic specialty) inadequate to express this concept, Ginzburg turned to fragmentary narratives that blur the lines between history, autobiography, and fiction. This full account of Ginzburg's writing career in many genres and emotional registers enables us not only to rethink the experience of Soviet intellectuals, but to arrive at a new understanding of writing and witnessing during a horrific century.
Emily Van Buskirk is associate professor in the Department of Germanic, Russian, and East European Languages and Literatures at Rutgers University. She is the coeditor of Lydia Ginzburg's Alternative Literary Identities and of a Russian edition of Ginzburg's blockade prose. She is editing a new publication of Ginzburg's Notes from the Leningrad Blockade.
