[Anthony Anemone]

*“I am a Phenomenon Quite Out of the Ordinary” The Notebooks, Diaries and
Letters of Daniil Kharms*.  selected, translated & edited by Anthony
Anemone and Peter Scotto, is now available in paperback at 30% off the list
price of $35 by emailing the the promotional code "Kharms30" at
sales at academicstudiespress.com.   The offer also comes with free shiping!

With a host of newly translated materials, Anemone and Scotto offer a
unique window into the writing process and impassioned personal musings of
Daniil Kharms. Posthumously recognized as one of the leading figures of the
Soviet Avant-Garde and a master of the minimalist absurd, Kharms displayed
his fervent artistic energy even in his diaries and letters. The book
intersperses poems and prose miniatures with artfully selected glimpses
into Kharms’s tumultuous personal life.

>From reviews:

“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, review on BOMBlog, August 1, 2013

“[Kharms’s notebooks] are generously sampled and gracefully translated by
Anemone (The New School) and Scotto (Mount Holyoke College). . . . Not only
have they succeeded in producing a vivid, often poignant portrait of
Kharms, they offer a host of new texts in English—many as funny, violent,
and profoundly existential as any seen before. . . . Highly recommended.”

—M. Kasper (emeritus, Amherst College) in CHOICE: Current Reviews for
Academic Libraries, August 2013
