>op hasn't read any russian literature written after the master and margarita

thanks op

>>8454092
yes. it's shit. to the americans it's good if it is anti-soviet in any way. the soviet critics, likewise, thought that the bestest american authors were L. Frank Baum, Horace McCoy, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway and Nathanael West.

Hard to be a God
Monday begins on Saturday
Strugatskies wrote some not bad sci-fi

This anon is bluffing >>8454122
What's even more depressing is that we had more talented writers under commies then since 90s

I
WRITER: I am a writer!
READER: But in my opinion you are horse shit!
(The writer stands several minutes, shaken by this new idea, and then falls down dead. They carry him away.)
II
ARTIST: I am an artist!
WORKER: But in my opinion you are horse shit!
(The artist turned pale, like a sheet,
And then swung like a reed,
And he suddenly died, indeed.
They carry him away.)
III
COMPOSER: I am a composer!
VANYA RUBLYOV: But in my opinion you are horse shit!
(Heavily breathing, the composer sank down. They unexpectedly carry him away.)
IV
CHEMIST: I am a chemist!
PHYSICIST: But in my opinion you are horse shit!
(Without a word the chemist collapses heavily to the floor.)

Can someone who is Slavic make sense of this bar joke?

Not quite there yet

>>8454208
what the fuck am I reading

>>8454209
It's Daniil Kharms, he wrote absurdist stuff. This is not that absurdist, I always thought it was pretty funny, the joke is about your self-image crushing on reality.

>>8454227
Reads a bit like Kharms but is probably some other slav of that era.

For the unaware

>>8454214
these are memes

the other guy's recommendation of Sorokin is alright though

>>8454097
How does that make the book worse in any way?
>>8454122
You are a retard.

>life and fate

>>8454208
Who is 'VANYA RUBLYOV'?

>>8454253
Some proletarian guy.

>>8454253
Icon Painter; Lived during the Mongolian Invasions.

>>8454220
ice is a fun read anon enjoy

>>8454231
I like Kharms' story where a guy tries to kill himself by suffocating himself in a box but the universe denies him such an easy death.

He was a great writer and I wish there would've been more.

Have you tried Urmuz? He only wrote a few stories but they're all quite similar, more random. I think the only collection of his stuff is on lib genesis

>>8454285
That was Andrey Rublyov.

>>8454250
I really loved Everything Flows, I've heard Life & Fates even better though. No one talks about Grossman.

>>8454321
No. Andrey was his retard brother. Vanya was in fact so good that all his icons got destroyed and he himself got blinded, broken on the wheel and tarred, feathered and burned as a probable Popish Schizmatic.

>>8454088
10/10 cover, damn

>>8454294
>Have you tried Urmuz?
Nope. I see the collection is pretty short, probably will read it tonight. Thanks for recommendation

Shalamov - The Koloyma Tales

you guys are keeping naming guys known by everyone. but keep it up.

Bayan Shiryanov.

I'm getting an implication here that we shouldn't talk about someone who has readers even though nobody names these semi-famous figures on /lit/ very often
