1991. out of print.
daniil kharms (1905–1942), a prominent figure of the russian avant-garde, was one of the last voices of the literary movement that flourished in the early Soviet period. his work, largely ignored and suppressed during his lifetime due to stalinist repression, has only recently begun to gain recognition. kharms was a master of absurdist poetry, short prose, and drama, creating a body of work that challenged conventional narrative structures and explored the boundaries of language and reality.
this volume of essays, edited by scholars from both russia and the west, offers a comprehensive and collective assessment of kharms's life and work.
