Description

Satire and the fantastic, vital literary genres in the 1920s, are often thought to have fallen victim to the official adoption of socialist realism.

Eric Laursen contends that these subversive genres did not just vanish or move underground.

Instead, key strategies of each survive to sustain the villain of socialist realism.

Laursen argues that the judgement of satire and the hesitation associated with the fantastic produce a narrative obsession with controlling the villain's influence.

In identifying a crucial connection between the questioning, subversive literature of the 1920s and the socialist realists, Laursen produces an insightful revision of Soviet literary history.
