Shklovskii question

[Devin Fore]

dear keith,
two texts by shklovskii that you might want to check out are: the  
article "o pisatele i proizvodstve," which appears in the 1929  
anthology "literatura fakta" (ed. nikolai chuzhak) and addresses the  
notion of the second profession; and his experimental productivist  
autobiography from 1926, "tret'ia fabrika."
best regards, devin fore
