Fakta

A critical look at the later work of the Russian Jewish author in the Soviet Union and its significance to Russian and Jewish history.

In Der Nister's Soviet Years, author Mikhail Krutikov focuses on the second half of the dramatic writing career of Soviet Yiddish writer Der Nister, pen name of Pinhas Kahanovich (1884–1950). Krutikov follows Der Nister's painful but ultimately successful literary transformation from his symbolist roots to social realism under severe ideological pressure from Soviet critics and authorities. This volume reveals how profoundly Der Nister was affected by the destruction of Jewish life during WWII and his own personal misfortunes. While Der Nister was writing a history of his generation, he was arrested for anti-government activities and died tragically from a botched surgery in the Gulag. Krutikov illustrates why Der Nister's work is so important to understandings of Soviet literature, the Russian Revolution, and the catastrophic demise of the Jewish community under Stalin.

"Krutikov's book on Der Nister will serve an important function, offering a strong, well-researched, and well-organized analysis of six significant periods in Der Nister's writing. I expect it to inspire a great many new readers of Der Nister, inside and outside of academia." —Amelia M. Glaser, author of Jews and Ukrainians in Russia's Literary Borderlands: From the Shtetl Fair to the Petersburg Bookshop "Among Soviet Yiddish writers, Der Nister occupies a unique place in literary history. Mikhail Krutikov's meticulous analysis follows the transformation of the writer under the pressure of the Soviet ideological environment." —Gennady Estraikh, author of Yiddish in the Cold War
