Paperback. Between Dog and Wolf, written in 1980, has long intimidated translators because of its complex puns, rhymes, and neologisms. Language rather than plot motivates the story-the novel is often compared to James Joyce's Finnegans Wake-and time, characters, and death all prove unstable. The one constant is the Russian landscape. Translator(s): Boguslawski, Alexander. Series: Russian Library. Num Pages: 296 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.
