Andrei Egunov-Nikolev's Beyond Tula is an uproarious romp through
the earnestly boring and unintentionally campy world of early
Soviet "production" prose, with its celebration of robust workers
heroically building socialism. Combining burlesque absurdism and
lofty references to classical and Russian High Modernist literature
with a rather tongue-in-cheek plot about the struggles of an
industrializing rural proletariat, this "Soviet pastoral" actually
appeared in the official press in 1931 (though it was quickly
removed from circulation). As a renegade classics scholar, Egunov
was aware of the expressive potential latent in so-called "light
genres"-Beyond Tula is a modernist pastoral jaunt that leaves the
reader with plenty to ponder.
