- Abstract
Russian émigré authors created numerous postmodern ways of mediating Russian classics into contemporary fiction. Many scholars discussed Vladimir Nabokov’s role in this phenomenon, while such third wave writers as Andrey Sinyavsky/Abram Terz, Vasiliy Aksenov, Sergei Dovlatov continued and developed this tradition. The paper discusses Dovlatov’s ludic literary references in the original and shows how his three translators, Ann Frydman, Antonina W. Bouis, and Ekaterina Dovlatova, rendered them into English. While Sinyavsky’s books already found direct response in American fiction, resonance to Dovlatov’s stories is likely to occur in Anglophone Russian American literature, thanks to (re)translations and other popularizing projects
