ISBN: 0810107279 ISBN-13: 9780810107274 Publisher: Northwestern University Press OUR PRICE: $19.75 Product Type: Paperback Published: December 1986 Annotation: Abram Tertz is the pseudonym of Andrei Sinyavsky, the exiled Soviet dissident writer. The interrelated tales in his Fantastic Stories have been compared with those of great twentieth-century fabulists like Kafka and Borges. One reads Tertz with a kind of vertigo, on guard against the nameless unexpected-the inexplicable and obscure changes in policy, the unfamiliar predawn knock at the door. |

| Publisher Description: Abram Tertz is the pseudonym of Andrei Sinyavsky, the exile Soviet dissident writer whose works have been compared to fabulists like Kafka and Borges. Tertz's settings are exotic but familiar and as compelling as those of lunatics and mystics. This edition contains the nightmarish Pkhentz, a story missing from the first English edition. |
