She is the author of Writing a Usable Past: Russian Literary Culture 1917-1937 (2000) and co-edited with Ilya Vinitsky the book Madness and the Mad in Russian Culture (2007).Clearly written, Chapaev and his Comrades is invaluable to scholars of war culture and scholars of Soviet and post-Soviet literature. . . . this volume contributes greatly to the body of scholarship addressing the field of Soviet war literature, an understudied field in the West." —Adrienne M. Harris, Baylor University; review published in The Russian Review, October 2013 (Vol. 72, No. 4).|“Brintlinger has made a valuable contribution to the study of twentieth-century Russian literature by bringing the war hero out of the Socialist Realist ghetto, showing the nuances which reveal the complexities of supposedly ‘official’ texts, as well as the multiple allusions which connect them with ‘unofficial’ texts which may parody or ridicule them, but by doing so acknowledge their claim on the cultural imagination.” —Katharine Hodgson (Department of Modern Languages, University of Exeter), in the Slavonic & East European Review Vol. 92, No. 2, April 2014
