Abstract
This paper examines the role of absence in Sasha Sokolov’s second novel, Between Dog and Wolf. It argues that the gap is as essential to the constitution of Sokolov’s text as the duality that captures it. Through the interplay between the negative and the positive, the absent and the double, the text transforms the gap into a potential space. In this space, disintegration becomes aesthetic play, and an unintegrated existential experience, ungraspable by cognition, finds an articulation and a form. (For a plot synopsis of Between Dog and Wolf, please consult the introduction to this issue of CASS.)
