Subject: [SEELANGS] Help with lit/film question
Hello SEELANGers,
I would like your help compiling a list of Slavic and East European literature
and film featuring things coming to life. "Coming to life" is understood
broadly - any exhibition of volition, independence, or sentience, whether it is
"real" or just in someone's imagination. My list so far consists almost
entirely of body parts, which count, I suppose, as things: Gogol' (The Nose),
Olesha (Envy), Gombrowicz (Ferdydurke), Aleshkovsky (Kangaroo), and one
borderline case - the film Brilliantovaia ruka.
If any of you have something to add to the list, please email me off-line. I
will compile answers and send the result to the group. Thank you!
Happy New Year to all (and enjoy the snow, if applicable),
Annie Fisher
