The novel raises questions about the nature of Russian colonialism, resistance to it, and the intentions of the author, whose life was lost to Stalinist terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbdulhamid Sulaymon o'g'li Cho'lpon\u003c\/b\u003e (1897-1938) was the preeminent poet and litterateur of 1920s and 1930s Uzbekistan. His early 1920s associations with so-called \"nationalist\" circles, his pessimistic poetry, and his criticism of Soviet power made him the target of a barrage of denunciations in the latter half of the decade. After escaping to Moscow during the first round of purges in Central Asia, he returned to Uzbekistan in 1934 and entered the first half of the incomplete dilogy of novels, \u003ci\u003eNight and Day\u003c\/i\u003e, into a contest for Uzbek socialist prose works. The novel did not win any of the prizes, but the jury recommended for publication, and it was printed in 1936. The following year the book was the subject of yet further denunciations, and Cho'lpon was arrested. After a relatively acquiescent interrogation-Cho'lpon knew his death was imminent-he was convicted and executed on October 4, 1938. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Fort \u003c\/b\u003eholds a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from the University of Michigan and an MA in Russian Area Studies from The Ohio State University.
