Description

Abram Tertz, one of the most important writers to emerge in the Soviet Union since World War II, came to prominence in 1959 when On Socialist Realism was published in the West. It was the first important critique of the central dogma of Soviet literature, an ironic tour de force in which Sinyavsky's narrator poses as a defender of the officially sanctioned Soviet approach to art in order to turn the tradition upside down by subverting it from within.
