Russian Comic Fiction by Guy Daniels
A concise, wide-ranging study of the development and functions of comic fiction in Russian literature, tracing how satire, the grotesque and other comic modes have shaped narrative strategies and social critique from the imperial era to contemporary writing. The book examines representative texts and authors to show how humor negotiates power, ideology and cultural anxieties, maps recurring devices such as caricature, parody and carnivalization, and argues that comic forms provide distinctive means of reframing national identity and registering political dissent. Combining close readings with historical and theoretical context, it presents Russian comic fiction as a dynamic, socially engaged strand of literary culture.
