Eric Laursen contends that these subversive genres did not just vanish or move underground. Instead, key strategies of each survive to sustain the villain of socialist realism. Laursen argues that the judgment of satire and the hesitation associated with the fantastic produce a narrative obsession with controlling the villain's influence. In identifying a crucial connection between the questioning, subversive literature of the 1920s and the socialist realists, Laursen produces an insightful revision of Soviet literary history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Laursen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810128659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810128651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Eric Laursen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086904144127,"sku":"9780810128651","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce0363e0-df0b-4fff-9f6b-6a70b3b7bba1.jpg?v=1769097237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/toxic-voices-eric-laursen-9780810128651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
