OBERIU: An Anthology of Russian Absurdism
Product Description
Eugene Ostashevsky, ed.
260 pgs, Northwestern University Press, 2006
This is This.
That is That.
This is not That.
This is not This.
What's left is either this, or not this.
It's all either that, or not that.
What's not that and not this, that is not this and not that.
What is this and also that, that is itself Itself.
What is itself Itself, that might be that but not this, or else this but not that.
--Daniil Kharms, trans. Matvei Yankelevich
from "Notnow"
