The s ..."

Kotik's experience is based on elements from Bely's own early childhood, but on a larger level his experience represents the stages of human history, the hist ..."

"Russian avant-garde books made between 1910 and 1934 reflect a vivid and tumultuous period in that nation's history that had ramifications for art, society, and politics. The early books, with their variously sized pages of coarse paper, illustrations entwined with printed, hand-written, and stamped texts, and provocative covers, were intended to shock academic conventions and bourgeois sensibilities. After the 1917 Revolution, books ap ..."

"Zelinsky expressed the view that, even though Bely had revised the novel after
the October Revolution, this revision did not reflect any change in his attitude to
the Revolution or in his general philosophy. The novel nevertheless deserved
reissue, said Zelinsky, because of its literary qualities. He spoke of it as Bely's

which had shocked so many ..."

"If Dada and the European Avant-garde are your thing, then brace yourself for Gerald Janecek's ZAUM.

Janecek has mined a myriad of arcane and inaccessible sources, gathered the entire historical record in one plac ..."
