内容简介：
Justin Weir develops a persuasive analysis of the complex relationship between authorial self-reflection and literary tradition in three of the most famous Russian novels of the first half of the twentieth century: Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita, "Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago, " and Nabokov's "The Gift." With Weir's innovative interpretation, and its compelling historical, cultural, and theoretical insights, "The Author as Hero" offers a new view of an important moment in the evolution of Russian literature.
