Russian Literature in America: From Crime and Punishment to Lolita
Lifelong Learning
How did Russian literature shape the American imagination? Join us to follow the classics' journey west: from the Constance Garnett translations that introduced Crime and Punishment to America, to the CIA's secret role in publishing Doctor Zhivago, to the emigres who became American writers-Nabokov, who gave America Lolita and a new idiom, and Brodsky, who rose to become U.S. Poet Laureate. You'll end with the Russians of American pop culture, from Cold War Hollywood to Stranger Things, and today's retranslation boom. You'll learn from stories, poems, essays, and film clips; no background reading required.
