Daniil Kharms was one of the most iconoclastic writers to emerge from the hotbed of the early Soviet avant garde, but has only recently been recognised internationally. English language readers now have a comprehensive collection of the prose and poetry that secured Kharms' cult reputation as a master of formal invention and of what today would be called 'micro-fiction'. Kharms' uniquely deadpan style developed out of - and in spite of - the absurdities of life in Stalinist Russia. An exciting discovery for fans of writers as disparate as George Saunders, John Ashbery, Diane Williams, and Martin McDonagh, "Today I Wrote Nothing" is an invaluable collection for readers of innovative writing everywhere.
