MOTHER TONGUE OTHER TONGUE - SERGII GURBYCH GEB...

The book examines the works of authors - e. g. Katja Petrowskaja  Alex Epstein  Alona Kimhi 
Gary Shteyngart and Lara Vapnyar - who  after immigration from post-Soviet countries  created
fiction in the language of their host countries (Germany  Israel  United States). Considering
the works of these writers  the study focuses on the elements of cultural identity and analyzes
ways of transmitting the cultural codes of the writer's native culture to the reader who was
raised in another culture. Unlike many studies on this topic  the author assumes that Soviet 
rather than Russian  culture is the native one for the authors in question. After immigration 
they develop a hybrid cultural identity  this allows analyzing their texts in terms of
transculturalism. All novels are viewed in terms of the Reader Response Criticism. Within the
framework of the transcultural approach  each of the authors in question is considered in
certain aspect that is most characteristic of his or her work.
