Stories for Children: Rasskazy dlya detei

by Daniil Kharms

Overview

Daniil Kharms was an early Soviet-era surrealist and absurdist poet, writer and dramatist. He came to be known for his children's literature.
Kharms' stories are typically brief vignettes often only a few paragraphs long, in which scenes of poverty and deprivation alternate with fantastic, dreamlike occurrences and acerbic comedy. His world is unpredictable and disordered; characters repeat the same actions many times in succession or otherwise behave irrationally; linear stories start to develop but are interrupted in midstream by inexplicable catastrophes that send them in completely different directions.
