Now available in bookstores is the long-awaited paperback edition of Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writings of Daniil KHARMS. Daniil Kharms has long been heralded as one of the most iconoclastic writers of the Soviet era, but the full breadth of his achievement is only in recent years, following the opening of Kharms' archives, being recognized internationally. In this brilliant translation by Matvei Yankelevich, English-language readers now have a comprehensive collection of the prose and poetry that secured Kharms’s literary reputation—a reputation that grew in Russia even as the Soviet establishment worked to suppress it.
