Keene on Books returns with an episode on Friedrich Gorenstein’s 1967 novel Redemption (Andrew Bromfield's 2018 English translation). Host / Associate Professor of English Education Chris Parsons is joined by Dr. Anna Schur, Professor of English at Keene State and author of the books Wages of Evil: Dostoevsky and Punishment and The Letters and the Law: Legal and Literary Culture in Late Imperial Russia as well as “Evil, Theodicy, and Jewishness in Fridrikh Gorenshtein” in Fall 2023 issue of Slavic Review. If I told you the book starts with a ball and ends with loads of babies, I don't think you'd be able to guess the middle. Read it.
