Description: * "Curiously, one of the most startling qualities of his work is the directness with which it addresses our 21st-century concerns. It's as if the Soviet editors were right: Krzhizhanovsky now seems more our contemporary than theirs.... It is now clear that Krzhizhanovsky is one of the greatest Russian writers of the last century." -Robert Chandler, Financial Times * "[A]n awareness has grown that Krzhizhanovsky belongs with the best of the Russian prose writers who came to maturity in the post-Revolutionary decade. Like them, he sought and developed a new aesthetic in an altered world; and like them, he was soon thrown back on himself." -Oliver Ready, Times Literary Supplement Comparative titles 9781590174500 The Letter Killers Club (NYRB Classics, 2012) 9781590173190 Memories of the Future (NYRB Classics, 2009)
