Description: "A fascinating look into the life and mind of poet and prose miniaturist Daniil Kharms ... Anemone and Scotto offer a wide-ranging selection of materials from Kharms's private notebooks, diaries, letters, and even documents from the KGB archives detailing Kharms's tragic end in a psychiatric prison hospital."--Page 4 of cover.
Review Quotes: "Gives the best sense of any book in English of Kharms both within his context and as a deeply fascinating individual whose work can't be explained away by the circumstances of its creation. . . . A huge addition to the Kharms canon in English. . . . Dozens of entries translated here for the first time that are just as great, as weird and delightful and mysterious, as his better-known works."--Chris Cumming "BOMBlog"
