Venedikt Erofeev's Moscow-Petushki: Critical Perspectives
Since the author's death in 1990, Venedikt Erofeev's "Moscow-Petushki" has been acclaimed both in the West and in Russia as a postmodern masterpiece. Venia's anguished, intoxicated journey on the Moscow suburban train takes us deep into the cultural milieu of Brezhnev's Soviet Union and into the labyrinth of the soul. This volume includes critical essays by eight scholars, an introduction to Erofeev's life and work, and a comprehensive bibliography. The collection also offers a broad range of insights into this curious, brilliant, and unique work.
