Studies of eastern European literature have largely confined
themselves to a single language, culture, or nationality. In this
highly original book, Glaser reveals the rich cultural exchange
among writers working in Russian, Ukrainian, and Yiddish in the
Ukrainian territories, from Nikolai Gogol's 1829 The Sorochintsy
Fair to Isaac Babel's stories about the forced collectivization of
the Ukrainian countryside in 1929. The marketplace, which was an
important site of interaction among members of these different
cultures, emerged in all three languages as a metaphor for the
relationship between Ukraine's coexisting communities, as well as
for the relationship between the Ukrainian borderlands and the
imperial capital. It is commonplace to note the influence of Gogol
on Russian literature, but Glaser shows him to have also been a
profound influence on Ukrainian and Yiddish writers, such as
Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko and Sholem Aleichem. And she shows how
Gogol must be understood not only within the context of his adopted
city of St. Petersburg but also that of his native Ukraine.
