Language rather than plot motivates the story--the novel is often compared to James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e--and time, characters, and death all prove unstable. The one constant is the Russian landscape, where the Volga is a more-crossable River Styx, especially when it freezes in winter. Sokolov's fiction has hugely influenced contemporary Russian writers. Now, thanks to Alexander Boguslawski's bold and superb translation, English readers can access what many consider to be his best work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSasha Sokolov is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eA School for Fools\u003c\/i\u003e (1976), \u003ci\u003eBetween Dog and Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e (1980), and \u003ci\u003eAstrophobia\u003c\/i\u003e (1985) and the essay collection\u003ci\u003e In the House of the Hanged\u003c\/i\u003e (2011). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlexander Boguslawski is professor of Russian at Rollins College and the translator of Sasha Sokolov's \u003ci\u003eA School for Fools\u003c\/i\u003e (2015) and \u003ci\u003eIn the House of the Hanged\u003c\/i\u003e (2011).\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47331037315321,"sku":"9780231181471","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/V1dtT25aMS8vMkdZcWZKQzBNNTk2UT09_0f58a0ac-d377-465a-a1c3-28c825db94d3.webp?v=1769611203","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/between-dog-and-wolf-paperback-3","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
