This collection of previously unpublished autobiographical and
semi-autobiographical “snippets of experience” written by
Svetlana Boym in the final period of her life capture her penchant
for seamlessly melding, poetically and dream-like, the intensively
personal with the everyday and the world-historical. They
illuminate the formative conditions for the thinking which she was
to develop into her majestic work on nostalgia. Importantly, these
pieces fill in gaps in understanding the genesis and scope of her
take on the world. For readers both familiar with her work and for
those new to it, The Origins of Nostalgia will enable our own
cultural past as well as that of the former Soviet Union to be
viewed in a different light.
