Soviet Deadpan: George Saunders on DANIIL KHARMS in NYTBR

George Saunders considers Daniil Kharms in a long endpage essay in this week's The New York Times Sunday Book Review. Recently published to rave reviews, Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writings of Daniil Kharms, was edited and translated by Matvei Yankelevich. For the first time, English-language readers now have a comprehensive collection of the prose and poetry that secured Kharms’s literary reputation as one of the most brilliant and iconoclastic writers of the Soviet era.
