{"product_id":"9780521028349","title":"The Last Soviet Avant-Garde : OBERIU - Fact, Fiction, Metafiction (Cambridge Studies in Russian Literature)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a comprehensive study of a group of avant-garde Soviet writers active in Leningrad in the 1920s and 1930s who styled themselves OBERIU, 'The Association for Real Art'. Graham Roberts re-examines commonly held assumptions about OBERIU, its identity as a group, its aesthetics and its place within the Russian and European literary traditions. He focuses on the prose and drama of group members Daniil Kharms, Aleksandr Vvedensky, and Konstantin Vaginov; he also considers work by Nikolay Zabolotsky and Igor Bakhterev, as well as the group's most important 'fellow-traveller', Nikolay Oleinikov. He places OBERIU in the context of the aesthetic theories of the Russian formalists and the Bakhtin circle. Roberts concludes by showing how the self-conscious literature of OBERIU - its metafiction - occupies an important transitional space between modernism and postmodernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48681296855275,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":128.18,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521028349-1.jpg?v=1781625413","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521028349","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
