TODAY I WROTE NOTHING Among the BOOKS OF THE YEAR in The Times Literary Supplement

Marjorie Perloff points out Today I Wrote Nothing as one of the "Books of the Year" in this week's issue of The Times Literary Supplement (TLS): "A dazzling book that gives me new hope for an avant garde writing that speaks to a larger audience. The Russian OBERIU poet Daniil Kharms, whose writings went unpublished in his lifetime (1905-42), was, as Matvei Yankelevich, the excellent editor and translator of Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writings of Daniil Kharms, remarks, much more than a 'Stalinist victim' or Soviet absurdist."
