Conversations in Exile: Russian Writers Abroad presents a remarkable collection of interviews with some of the most significant Russian literary voices of the twentieth century — writers who, forced by political circumstance, ideology, or personal necessity, found themselves crafting their art far from the Soviet world that shaped them. Edited and translated by John Glad, alongside Richard and Marina Bojan, the volume chronicles candid, often deeply personal exchanges with émigré authors who grapple with questions of identity, memory, creative freedom, and the weight of displacement.\n\nThe collection stands as an invaluable document of the Russian literary diaspora, illuminating how exile both constricts and liberates the creative imagination. Glad's editorial hand is deft and scholarly, allowing each writer's distinct voice to emerge while weaving together a broader tapestry of cultural and political resistance. Published by Duke University Press, the work sits at the intersection of literary history and cultural testimony — essential reading for anyone drawn to the profound question of what survives when a writer loses everything except their words.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130941808859,"sku":"2026100007123-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6bd6b58f-807a-4a80-8cf9-f3b3ddbd448b.png?v=1786592961","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007123-secondhand-conversations-in-exile-russian-writers-abroad","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
