Today I Wrote Nothing : The Selected Writing of Daniil Kharms

from dagseoul

i bought an uncorrected proof awhile back and wore it out, then lent it out, and never received it back. All my notes in it lost because i write everything i am thinking in books because i have poor short term memory. Bought a new copy recently and am re-reading it. simply one of the great writers.

Nonsense at first sight, then you get the hang of it. Excellent. The author stated in 1937, as the preface confirms, `I am interested only in nonsense; only in that which has no practical meaning'.

Incredibly hilarious nonsense. Best read in short doses.
