Unavailable for more than fifty years, EIMI finally returns. While
sometimes termed a "novel," it is better described as a novelistic
travelogue, the diary of a trip to Russia in the 1930s during the
rise of the Stalinist government. Despite some contempt for what he
witnesses, Cummings's narrator has an effective, occasionally
hilarious way of evoking feelings of accord and understanding. As
Ezra Pound wrote, Cummings's Soviet Union is laid "out there
pellucidly on the page in all its Slavic unfinishedness, in all of
its Dostoievskian slobberyness....Does any man wish to know about
Russia? 'EIMI' "
A stylistic tour de force, EIMI is a melange of styles and
tones, the prose containing many abbreviations, grammatical and
syntactical shifts, typographical devices, compounds, and word
coinages. This is Cummings's invigorating and unique voice at its
finest, and EIMI is without question one of his most substantial
accomplishments."
