This book is the first comprehensive examination of Evgeny Popov, a significant and controversial figure in late Soviet and post-Soviet literature. Utilizing a diverse range of primary and secondary sources, many in Russian, the author provides a detailed analysis of Popov's novels and stories. The introduction outlines Popov's personal and professional journey, highlighting pivotal moments such as the 1979 Metropole affair. A chapter on critical contexts offers insight into the history of Popov's reception, while subsequent chapters delve into his first collection of short stories and the intricacies of narrative voice. The author explores the 'non-elucidatory principle' central to Popov's poetics and examines the short story cycles in Metropole and Catalogue from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Additionally, the book addresses the phenomenon of Popov's self-fictionalization in both his shorter and longer works, providing a broad contextualization of his literary contributions. This work is essential for understanding the complexities of Popov's writing and his nuanced perspective on the Soviet experience, distinguishing him from other liberal writers who adopt a more confessional stance.
