Новое о Платонове

This review article considers several studies (most of them written in Russian) on Andrei Platonov that have been published during the last three years. Evgenii Iablokov’s book Children and Adults in Andrei Platonov’s World is based predominantly on a psychoanalytical approach to Platonov’s works. The focus in Robert Hodel’s Native Country and Electricity is on the issue of Platonov’s language. A cluster of four articles that appeared in the journal Wiener Slawistischer Almanach deals with various motifs and contexts of Platonov’s works. Finally, the dynamic transcription of the manuscript of Chevengur, edited and commented by Natalia Kornienko, sheds light on the genesis of Platonov’s famous novel.
