“In recent years, few scholars have transformed the fields of
Russian and Slavic literary studies as rigorously as Mark
Lipovetsky has. With Postmodern Crises, he unpacks the
interconnections between intellectual and popular cultures and
politics in contemporary Russia in a series of erudite, nuanced,
nonessentialist, and—invariably!—rhetorically powerful analytical
inquiries. Scholars, students, philosophers, and politicians who
want to understand the crisis of postmodern paradigms, contemporary
Russian literature and art, and the political crises of Putin's
Russia: read this book.”
