Wilderness Journals of Everett Ruess
by W.L. Rusho
I loosed the burros across the rivulet, and had a glorious bath while the sun was sinking behind a saffron cloud. I had a fire and some supper while the sun set, and thanked my soul profusely and unrestrainedly for such beauty and delight". Driven to the beauties of Nature, yet both enraptured and tormented by what he saw and felt, young Everett Ruess wandered alone through the High Sierras and across the scenic deserts of the Four Comers region. He made forays during warm seasons of the year beginning in 1930. Then in late 1934, not yet twenty-one years old, he mysteriously disappeared from the Escalante Canyon area of southern Utah, and was never seen again. While most of his lyrically written, essay-type letters have been made public in Everett Ruess: A Vagabond for Beauty (Gibbs Smith, Publisher), his only existing journals -- for 1932 and 1933 -- have never before been published. These journals were his companions, a place where he confided his joys, his regrets, his complaints, and his aspirations, as well as some exciting adventures. They also provide us with insight into Everett's deeper feelings toward the complexity, the frustrations, as well as the beauty of life.

Bakhtin, Stalin, and Modern Russian Fiction
by M. Keith Booker
Bakhtin, Stalin, and Modern Russian Fiction presents an advanced introduction to the work of the Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, focusing on the concepts of carnival, dialogism, and historicism. The discussion of Bakhtin pays particular attention to the impact of his historical context in the Soviet Union and to the importance of his own dialogic mode of discourse. Bakhtin's ideas are then placed in dialogic relation to the works of several important writers of modern Russian fiction, including Vassily Aksyonov, Ilf and Petrov, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Yuz Aleshkovsky, Andrei Bitov, and Sasha Sokolov.
