Description: At the Crossroads of the Avant-Garde: Ivan Aksyonov and Russian Modernism is a pioneering study of Ivan Aksyonov, the influential but enigmatic personality who was at the very center of the world of the Russian avant-garde movement.
Review Quotes: "Kleberg's lucid and lively account of Ivan Aksyonov's career is a portrait of the entire Russian avant-garde, whose colorful personalities and inexhaustible creativity fall into place around this shadowy but omnipresent figure--a poet, critic, and translator who seems to have had his hand in everything." --Jacob Emery, Indiana University
