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.
