The Image of Trotsky in Saul Bellow’s Works: The Dialectical Fabric of Fact and Fiction
Autors:
Bronich Marina K., Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University named after N. A. Dobrolyubov
Abstract:
The paper explores the correlation between biography, history and fiction in Saul Bellow’s early works. Regarding the image of Trotsky that persistently appears in his books, the presented analysis identifies a range of narrative devices that help transpose fact into fiction, such as framing (story inside a story), counterpoint construction, and deliberately subjective perception of historical events.
