Russian Emigrant Culture in North America

[Sasha Senderovich]

Some more or less obvious texts that come to mind (assuming that you need
texts that are available in English):

- Joseph Brodsky's essays
*- *novels and stories of Sergei Dovlatov
- Ludmila Ulitskaya's *The Funeral Party*
- Eduard Limonov, *It's Me, Eddie*
*
*
A few recent critical studies come to mind, too: Adrian Wanner just
published a book on this topic, *Out of Russia: Fictions of a New
Translingual Diaspora*; Sanna Turoma's *Brodsky Abroad*; there was a volume
of Slavic and East European Journal a couple of years ago devoted to the
subject that had very good articles on topics like New York in emigre
Russian writing, etc.

There's more: this is just off the top of my head.
