| Summary: | This PhD consists of a novel, The Russian Soul, and a critical study entitled 'Self-Translation and Re-Writing in the Works of Ferré, Duranti, Goldsworthy and Radić'. The Russian Soul is a dark comedy and conspiracy thriller set in contemporary London, Rome, Moscow, Mexico and Cambridge. The plot concerns the fate and whereabouts of a Fabergé jewel that may hold the key to the future of Russia and its natural resources. The main characters are: a former Russian soldier, Alex Gorsky, the oligarch Kaganov and his wife Milla Ivanovna, British and American intelligence operatives, the Mexican drug-lord El Guapo Medina and Senka Golovkin, a chess master, among others. The narrative is polyphonic, with multiple points of view, and relies heavily on irony and humour. I wrote this novel in two versions, one in English and one in Serbian. The critical component looks at the interplay of languages and the translingual and self-translation practice of contemporary authors, Rosario Ferré, Francesca Duranti, Vesna Goldsworthy and Nebojša Radić. This study informs my own multilingual literary practice and argues for self-translation to be viewed as a discrete literary activity. |
