Description

This collection of previously unpublished autobiographical and semi-autobiographical "snippets of experience" written by Svetlana Boym in the final period of her life capture her penchant for seamlessly melding, poetically and dream-like, the intensively personal with the everyday and the world-historical. They illuminate the formative conditions for the thinking which she was to develop into her majestic work on nostalgia.
Importantly, these pieces fill in gaps in understanding the genesis and scope of her take on the world. For readers both familiar with her work and for those new to it, The Origins of Nostalgiawill enable our own cultural past as well as that of the former Soviet Union to be viewed in a different light.
