"Polish-Israeli Literature and its Myth-making Potential." A review of: Roman Katsman, Vysshaya legkost'sozidaniya. Sleduyushchiye sto let russko-izrail'skoy literatury (Boston–St. Petersburg: Academic Studies Press–BiblioRossica, 2021). Hardback, 443 pp. [Роман Кацман, Высшая легкость созидания. Следующие сто лет русско-израильской литературы (Boston–St. Petersburg: Academic Studies Press–BiblioRossica, 2021]"
The text is a review of Roman Katsman’s monograph, entitled Vysshaya legkost’sozidaniya. Sleduyushchiye sto let russko-izrail’skoy literatury (Boston–St. Petersburg: Academic Studies Press–BiblioRossica, 2021). This is a continuation of his research included in the previous book, Neulovimaya real’nost’. Sto let russko-izrail’skoy literatury (1920–2020) (Boston–St. Petersburg: Academic Studies Press–BiblioRossica, 2020). Katsman steps back from perceiving Russian-Israeli literature as a part of Russian literature and describing it only in contexts and connections related to Russian culture. The recognition of such literary autonomy requires a separate research method, tools and conceptual apparatus. In his book from 2020, Katsman presents a philosophical and cultural paradigm, which aims to define the perspective of Russian-Israeli literature; in the other monograph, he supplements this paradigm with the myth-creating potential contained in this literature.
