"Crisis and Upheaval in Russian Short Stories" The greatest challenge an author of a short story often faces is how to overcome the creative limitations of the genre and efficiently use all the tools and materials to produce a work of art. Russian literature is famous for its (mostly long) novels, but Russian short stories are also remarkable in how succinctly they convey the complexity of historico-philosophical problems that get conceptualized through aesthetical choices an author has to make. This class will examine different strategies that various 19th and 20th century Russian authors used to voice their concerns about particular social issues or tried to process and/or document important historical events. Consequently, we will focus especially on the texts dealing with the times of political and social crises, such as The Russian Revolution and World War II.
