“Art Made Tongue-Tied by Authority”
View through CrossRef
This chapter intends to analyze Julian Barnes's The Noise of Time (2016), the fictional biography of the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his three traumatic “conversations with power.” Barnes's narrative explores themes that are not only central to the composer's biography but of more general concern, the function of ideology and politics in culture and social life: the role of censorship in a ruthless regime and its traumatic effects on the psyche of an artist whose conscience must confront the insupportable demands of totalitarianism. The analysis of the novel aims first to investigate how the dominant political apparatuses of Stalinist power and their repressive ideological discourses affected the composer's personal and artistic life; second, to discuss the complex portrait of Shostakovich that comes to life in Barnes's representation. References will also be made to Barnes's two main sources: Elizabeth Wilson's Shostakovich: A Life Remembered (1994) and Solomon Volkov's Testimony: The Memoirs of Shostakovich (1979).
