In addition to his numerous works in prose and poetry for both
children and adults, Daniil Kharms (1905-1942), one of the founders
of Russia's "lost literature of the absurd," wrote notebooks and a
diary for most of his adult life. Published for the first time in
recent years in Russian, these notebooks provide an intimate look
at the daily life and struggles of one of the central figures of
the literary avant-garde in Post-Revolutionary Leningrad. While
Kharms's stories have been translated and published in English,
these diaries represent an invaluable source for English-language
readers who, having already discovered Kharms in translation,
desire to learn about the life and times of an avant-garde writer
in the first decades of Soviet power.
