Aleksey Varlamov. The New Face of Russian Literature
Russian literature is going through a unique period of complete freedom and independence from authorities in history. In this lecture, Professor Aleksey Varlamov will focus on new trends in Russian literature, including the role of the writer as storyteller rather than as prophet or ideologist, as well as the current literary landscape in Russia, with a focus on non-fiction, biography and the status of movements such as Realism, Post-Realism and Postmodernism.
