In this essential collection of Andrei Platonov's plays, the noted
Platonov translator Robert Chandler edits and introduces The
Hurdy-Gurdy (translated by Susan Larsen), Fourteen Little Red Huts
(translated by Chandler), and Grandmother's Little Hut (translated
by Jesse Irwin). Written in 1930 and 1933, respectively, The
Hurdy-Gurdy and Fourteen Little Red Huts constitute an impassioned
and penetrating response to Stalin's assault on the Soviet
peasantry. They reflect the political urgency of Bertolt Brecht and
anticipate the tragic farce of Samuel Beckett but play out through
dialogue and characterization that is unmistakably Russian. This
volume also includes Grandmother's Little Hut, an unfinished play
that represents Platonov's later, gentler work.
