Alexey Khvostenko and Anri Volokhonsky: Texts and Contexts
29.99 €
The joint work of poets Alexei Khvostenko and Henri Volokhonsky, who wrote in co-authorship under the pseudonym A. H. V., is a unique phenomenon. Collective writing is in itself an infrequent phenomenon in Russian literature, especially when it manages to achieve an amazing combination of hermetic poetics and mass popularity. The collection, dedicated to the work of two legendary figures of the Soviet underground and the emigration of the third wave, combines works of different genres.
Dictionary articles, memoirs, reviews, interpretations and comments occupy an equal place in it alongside the voices of the poets themselves. Along with new studies of A. H. V. poetry, the book includes already published but hard-to-reach materials, as well as works by Alexei Khvostenko and Henri Volokhonsky, which were not included in the representative collections of their work.
The publication is accompanied by an exhaustive bibliography, which, in addition to the post-text painting of lifetime and posthumous publications of A. H. V., includes both reviews of contemporaries and the works of young scientists, for whom poets are already quite official classics, and their works are an invitation to search for new research ways.
