While living in exile in Berlin, the formidable literary critic
Viktor Shklovsky fell in love with Elsa Triolet. He fell into the
habit of sending Elsa several letters a day, a situation she
accepted under one condition: he was forbidden to write about love.
Zoo, or Letters Not about Love is an epistolary novel born of this
constraint, and although the brilliant and playful letters
contained here cover everything from observations about
contemporary German and Russian life to theories of art and
literature, nonetheless every one of them is indirectly dedicated
to the one topic they are all required to avoid: their author's own
unrequited love.
