XI, 230 pp. n Slavic studies abroad, research on Belarusian literature is rare, and a monograph Ian event. This slender book evolved from Simon Lewis’s doctoral dissertation, sub- mitted at Cambridge University in 2014. It is a thorough study on the negotiations of nation and memory, with cosmopolitanism as a key word for the ‘alternative visions’ of the Belarus(ian) past, in which the author is interested most. The book concentrates on the second half of the 20th century and the post-Soviet period. As the first chapter offers an overview from ca. 1800, it doubles as an excellent introduction into modern Belarusian literature in general. The book must be praised particularly in this respect for its brevity and conciseness that completely differs from the multi-volume cumulati- ve histories of BelarusianUMCS literature published in Miensk, and from Arnold McMillin’s encyclopaedic publications over the last decades. The six chapters, as well as the end- notes that follow each of them, prove the author’s broad and thorough knowledge not only of the Belarusian classics, but also of Russian and Polish literature.

    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom

    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

    When Autocracies Have No Respect for the Nobel Prize BY INA SHAKHRAI As both the fi rst writer and the fi rst woman from Belarus to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Svetlana Alexievich became a centre of public attention worldwide. While the fi rst tweets from the Nobel announcement room generated some confusion regarding this unknown writer from an unknown land – with about “10,000 reporters googling Svetlana Alexievich” (Brooks 2015) – the subsequent media coverage of the writer in such publications as The Guardian, The New Yorker, and Der Spiegel sketched out a broad picture of Alexievich’s life, career and main works. Meanwhile, the Belarusian state media remained reluctant to give the award much attention: the upcoming presidential elections and Lukashenka’s visit to Turkmenistan took priority. In a couple of cafes and art spaces in Minsk young people gathered to watch Alexievich’s speech live via the Internet. Independent and alternative websites offered platforms for discussion and the exchange of opinions. Interestingly, the general public was divided over the question of the “Belarusianness” of Alexievich. The identity of the protagonist in Alexievich’s books caused a heated discussion among Russian intellectuals as well. They could hardly accept that Alexievich’s works might epitomize the experience of a genuinely Soviet individual, as they set out to. There was also much speculation on whether Alexievich should be acknowledged as a Russian writer, or whether the West treated her as Belarusian in order to chastise Russia. The events surrounding Alexievich’s Nobel Prize represent a revealing example of the all-encompassing nature of autocratic political systems, as well as how confusing and interwoven national identities can be.

Translitera- tion. xi + 260. Endorsement: Vaclav Havel 2 Books by Zina J. Gimpelevich: Excerpts from Some Reviews Vasil Byka ŭ His Life and Works (English) . Montreal: McGill-Queen’s UP, 2005. Bibliography. Index. Photographs. Translitera- tion. xi + 260. Endorsement: Considered the best modern Belarusian writer and the last East European literary dissident, Vasil Byka ŭ (1924-2003) is re- ferred to as “conscience of a nation” for leading an intellectual cru- sade against Lukašenka’s totalitarian regime. In exile from Belarus for several years, he was given refuge by Vaclav Havel. He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize by Havel, Czesław Milosz, and PEN. Choice, 2006: Offering the first English-language study of this Bela- rusian writer (Vasil Byka ŭ 1924-2003), Z. Gimpelevich (University of Waterloo), treats each of Byka ŭ’s novels and several of his stories, stressing the writer’s passionate “war against human injustices.” Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. — N. Titler, SUNY at Binghamton. Slavic Review, 2006: This study succeeds in exploring the ways in which Byka ŭ countered the prevailing official culture of the Soviet Union through his writing, while still continue to publish and reach a wide readership. It also emphasizes Byka ŭ’s Belarusian identity, and the important place it occupies in his writing, and reminds the reader to be wary of Soviet-era Russian translations of his work, which pro- vide a telling example how translation can shade into rewriting.
