These texts engage with Russian and Jewish-American literary predecessors, including Lev Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Philip Roth, and Bernard Malamud. The essay argues that José Esteban Muñoz’s theory of “disidentification” helps deconstruct these conflicted engagements, which depend on both the appropriation and rewriting of literary and social scripts. Specifically, the complex intertextuality of Ulinich’s, Vapnyar’s, and Reyn’s novels functions as means of subverting norms surrounding women’s sexuality, Jews’ status in Russian literature, and relations between Russian-Jewish immigrants and their Jewish-American hosts. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of East European Jewish Affairs is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
