Abstract
The article examines some aspects of Vasily Grossman’s evolution as a writer through the analysis of two previously unstudied versions of the novel Everything Flows..., the novel on which Grossman worked on during the last years of his life (1955–1964) and which was published in Russia only in the Perestroika years. The study of the two surviving autographs of the text contributes to the understanding of how and when the Soviet Grossman became the ‘dissident’ Grossman who could only be published posthumously. Grossman’s evolution as a writer is examined through the analysis of some literary devices (metaphor, repetition, violation of Sovi- et taboo) and themes (Stalin’s illness and death, the illness of the state).
