Abstract

Some critics note that there are no more lacunae on the map of late Soviet unofficial or nonconformist literature.¹ In this extensively developed field of study, however, too little attention has been devoted to the work of the Leningrad and Moscow—and since 1987 American—poet, prose writer, playwright and literary translator David Shrayer-Petrov. This has partly to do with the fact that nonconformist literature has long since developed its own unofficial but fully hegemonic canon. On the other hand, this is related to the question of how the national, particularly the Jewish, component should be related to the discourse
