a new book on Akhmatova: "Anti-Akhmatova"

[Galina Rylkova]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to attract your attention to my new book, "The Archaeology  
of Anxiety: The Russian Silver Age and Its Legacy" (U of Pittsburgh  
Press, 2007), which has two chapters on Anna Akhmatova. When I was  
writing my book Kataeva's book was also in the state of gestation, but  
her views and her basic approach to Akhmatova were definitely in the  
air. I am not suggesting that my chapters were written as some kind of  
an anti-anti-Akhmatova (this was not my goal) but I was writing them  
partly in response to critics like Tamara Kataeva.

All the best,

Galina Rylkova
