Short story collection review

7 Stories

By Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky

Published by Glas

Krzhizhanovsky (1887-1950) was prominent in Moscow literary circles in the 1920s and 30s but his work was all but unpublished. Since then he has slipped into oblivion, best known for being forgotten.

This translated collection of his philosophical, satirical, lyrical phantasmagorias should restore his reputation. It won the 2007 Rossica Translation Prize.
