In Connections and Influence in the Russian and American Short
Story, editors Robert C. Hauhart and Jeff Birkenstein have
assembled a collection of eighteen original essays written by
literary critics from around the globe. Collectively, these critics
argue that the reciprocal influence between Russian and American
writers is integral to the development of the short story in each
country as well as vital to the global status the contemporary
short story has attained. This collection provides original
analyses of both well-known Russian and American stories as well as
some that might be more unfamiliar. Each essay is purposely crafted
to display an appreciation of the techniques, subject matter,
themes, and approaches that both Russian and American short story
writers explored across borders and time. Stories by Gogol,
Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Chekhov, and Krzhizhanovsky as well as short
stories by Washington Irving, Faulkner, Langston Hughes, Richard
Wright, Ursula Le Guin, Raymond Carver, and Joyce Carol Oates
populate this essential, multivalent collection. Perhaps more
important now than at any time since the end of the Cold War, these
essays will remind readers how much Russian and American culture
share, as well as the extent to which their respective literatures
are deeply intertwined.
