The Dialogic Imagination collects four of Bakhtin's most influential essays. Bakhtin is a fascinating thinker who survived Stalinist Russia to be rediscovered decades after he was thought dead.

BookNAround I haven‘t heard anyone mention Bakhtin in the twenty five years since grad school. I do remember being rather drawn to his theories. 6y

"It may be said Jakobson works with poetry because he has a Pushkinian love of order; Bakhtin, on the contrary, loves novels because he is a baggy monster."

sistercity The inability to describe a "baggy monster" has been haunting me since you posted this. 8y
darynne @sistercity I keep picturing a cross between the villain in Ink and the Paperbag Princess 8y
sistercity Aha! I'm definitely closer to a Dark Crystal-type figure, but I like the reference to the Paper Bag Princess, who is baggy and knows her own mind. 8y
