Description

Kholin 66 Diaries and Poems is a unique collection of poetry from Soviet poet Igor Kholin. Translated into English by Ainsley Morse and Bela Shayevich, this book features Kholin's acerbic prose and self-deprecating poems that offer a glimpse into his life and work. The selection includes excerpts from Kholin's 1966 diary, where he recounts his experiences sleeping in the country, drinking with Moscow's literary underground, and eventually returning to the city. His poetry is marked by bleak visions of the outskirts of Moscow and strange, absurdist musings on life beyond Earth. With illustrations by Ripley Whiteside, this book provides a fascinating insight into Kholin's world, one that is both humorous and profound.
