| Long abstract | This chapter examines the careers of two of Kyiv’s most prominent Russophone authors, Andrei Kurkov and Alexei Nikitin, who had very different publication experiences both at home and abroad. I focus on the reception of their prose fiction in English translation in the US; since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2023, I have updated this chapter to address some of the sweeping, ongoing changes in Russophone culture and its perception in the west. My analysis draws on my extensive personal and professional relations with literary and scholarly figures in Ukraine, including the two authors under discussion and their publishers and translators. |
