Memories of the Future (New York Review Books Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Written in Soviet Moscow in the 1920sâ€”but considered too subversive even to show to a publisherâ€”the seven tales included here attest to Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskyâ€™s boundless imagination, black humor, and breathtaking irony: a man loses his way in the vast black waste of his own small room; the Eiffel Tower runs amok; a kind soul dreams of selling â€œeverything you need for suicideâ€; an absentminded passenger boards the wrong train, winding up in a place where night is day, nightmares are the reality, and the backs of all facts have been broken; a man out looking for work comes across a line for logic but doesnâ€™t join it as thereâ€™s no guarantee the logic will last; a sociable corpse misses his own funeral; an inventor gets a glimpse of the far-from-radiant communist future.
