The Soviet writer Andrei Platonov 18991951 belongs to a Russian philosophical tradition that includes such figures as Vladimir Solovev Mikhail Bakhtin and Boris Pasternak This study investigates the interrelation of themes imagery and the use of language in his prose Thomas Seifrid shows how Platonov was particularly influenced by Russian utopian thought of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and how his world view was also shaped by its implicit dialogue with the official Soviet philosophy of MarxismLeninism and later with Stalinist utopianism

In Nabokov and Indeterminacy Priscilla Meyer shows how Vladimir Nabokovs early novel The Real Life of Sebastian Knight illuminates his later work Meyer first focuses on Sebastian Knight exploring how Nabokov associates his characters with systems of subtextual references to Russian British and American literary and philosophical works She then turns to Lolita and Pale Fire applying these insights to show that these later novels clearly differentiate the characters through subtextual references and that Sebastian Knights construction models that of Pale Fire Meyer argues that the dialogue Nabokov constructs among subtexts explores his central concern the continued existence of the spirit beyond bodily death She suggests that because Nabokovs art was a quest for an unattainable knowledge of the otherworldly knowledge which can never be conclusive Nabokovs novels are never closed in plot theme or resolutionthey take as their hidden theme the unfinalizability that Bakhtin says characterizes all novels The conclusions of Nabokovs novels demand a rereading and each rereading yields a different novel The reader can never get back to the same beginning never attain a conclusion and instead becomes an adept of Nabokovs quest Meyer emphasizes that unlike much postmodern fiction the contradictions created by Nabokovs multiple paths do not imply that existence is constructed arbitrarily of preexisting fragments but rather that these fragments lead to an everdeepening approach to the unknowable
