Kharms in English

[Anthony Anemone]

“I am a Phenomenon Quite out of the Ordinary: The Notebooks, Diaries and
Letters of Danill Kharms,” translated, edited and with an introduction by
Anthony Anemone and Peter Scotto, is now available from Academic Studies
Press (http://www.academicstudiespress.com/Default.aspx#L_2) or Amazon.com (
http://www.amazon.com/Phenomenon-Quite-Out-Ordinary-Revolutions/dp/193623596X
).

One of the legendary figures of the “Last Soviet Avant-Garde,” Kharms was
the tutelary spirit of “Russia’s lost literature of the absurd.” His work,
rescued from oblivion by a dedicated group of friends and scholars, has
attained an almost cult status among present-day Russia’s literary
elite.  Anemone
and Scotto offer a wide-ranging selection of materials from Kharms’s
private notebooks, diaries, letters, draft poems and stories, and even
documents from the KGB archives detailing Kharm’s tragic end in a
psychiatric prison hospital.  Most have never been translated before into
English. Essential reading for anyone interested in Russian literature,
Soviet culture, or looking into the mind of a quirky genius.
