title = "Overwriting Chaos: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Fictive Worlds",
abstract = "Richard Tempest examines Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn{\textquoteright}s evolution as a literary artist from his early autobiographical novel Love the Revolution to the experimental mega-saga The Red Wheel, and beyond. Tempest shows how this author gives his characters a presence so textured that we can readily imagine them as figures of flesh and blood and thought and feeling. The study discusses Solzhenitsyn{\textquoteright}s treatment of Lenin, Stalin, and the Russian Revolution; surprising predilection for textual puzzles and games {\`a} la Nabokov or even Borges; exploration of erotic themes; and his polemical interactions with Russian and Western modernism. Also included is new information about the writer{\textquoteright}s life and art provided by his family, as well as Tempest{\textquoteright}s interviews with him in 2003-7. ",
