The Art of Sincerity: Essayistic Mode in the Works of Yosef H. ayyim Brenner and Fyodor Dostoyevsky
2024
Overview
First was his stage of activism as a member of the Bund, the Jewish social-democratic party, during a period that coincided with his literary apprenticeship in the Jewish communities of the tsarist empire. \"1 In addition to autobiographical allusions and the reflection of personal ideological misgivings, this strategy aimed to present a fictional composition as a diary, note, or oral monologue transcribed- that is, as a text not originally intended as a literary work at all. [...]Brenner 's rhetoric of sincerity aimed not only to present literature as both faithful and close to real life, but also to respond to the important life questions of his generation and express opinions about them. [...]according to Brinker, Brenner's writing constitutes an actual stance of sincerity with clear intellectual content rather than merely a game that presents the appearance of sincerity. [...]to use an expression borrowed from the theory of Harold Bloom, Brenner might have been stricken by \"the anxiety of influence\" in relation to Dostoyevsky's work, as manifest in distinct expressions of the ongoing influence of the great writer on his own work and of the desire to break free from it to bring out his own unique literary voice.7 Brenner's affinity for Dostoyevsky's narrative art was not accompanied by an imitation of his style.
