Andrei Sinyavsky wrote In Gogol's Shadow in a Soviet labor camp. He challenges the view that Gogol was first and foremost a political writer, revealing an author more obsessed with language than with politics. This irreverent and incisive analysis is a path-breaking exploration of literary creativity in times of strict censorship.
