The Man with the Black Coat: Russia's Literature of the Absurd
by Daniil Kharms, Aleksandr I. Vvedenskii (Author)

Description
These bizarre and wildly imaginative pieces, written in Soviet Russia forty years ago, are as vital and disturbing as the best of today's absurdist literature. Almost none of the works of Daniil Kharms and Alexander Vvedensky have been published before in any language.Tags

Includes some amazing short works by the one and only Daniil Kharms, along with fellow Oberiuian Alexander Vvedensky! I was lucky enough to come across a slightly marked used copy a few years back.
