North American Pushkin Society/ Pushkin Review

Mon Mar 21 05:15:01 UTC 2005

Teaching Pushkin to Americans is like teaching Shakespeare to Russians. You
have to (know and) be able to explain a ton of allusions, and then pray that
they (the students) understand and enjoy it all. Rather like explaining a
joke.  Hard to do, and still keep the humor.
