This volume celebrates the literary oeuvres of David
Shrayer-Petrov-poet, fiction writer, memoirist, essayist and
literary translator (and medical doctor and researcher in his
parallel career). Author of the refusenik novel Doctor Levitin,
Shrayer-Petrov is one of the most important representatives of
Jewish-Russian literature. Published in the year of
Shrayer-Petrov's eighty-fifth birthday, thirty-five years after the
writer's emigration from the former USSR, this is the first volume
to gather materials and investigations that examine his writings
from various literary-historical and theoretical perspectives. By
focusing on many different aspects of Shrayer-Petrov's multifaceted
and eventful literary career, the volume brings together some of
the leading American, European, Israeli and Russian scholars of
Jewish poetics, exilic literature, and Russian and Soviet culture
and history. In addition to fifteen essays and an extensive
interview with Shrayer-Petrov, the volume features a detailed
bibliography and a pictorial biography.
This volume focuses on several Russian authors among many who
immigrated to Israel with the ""big wave"" of the 1990s or later,
and whose largest part of their works was written in Israel: Dina
Rubina, Nekod Singer, Elizaveta Mikhailichenko and Yury Nesis, and
Mikhail Yudson. They are popular and active authors on the Israeli
scene, in the printed and electronic media, and some of them are
also editors of the renowned journals and authors of literary and
cultural reviews and essays. They constitute a new generation of
Jewish-Russian writers: diasporic Russians and new Israelis.
