Praise for Krzhizhanovksy's Autobiography of a Corpse, Memories of the Future, and The Letter Killers Club:
"Sly, vibrant, and often very funny, Krzhizhanovsky's stories, originally written in the 1920s and '30s (though virtually unpublished during the author's lifetime), are a joy... Full of precise detail, this book will instruct, delight, and then leave the reader pondering long after the reading is finished." --Publishers Weekly
"The stories in this collection by the early Soviet writer Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky are nearly as fantastic as the crashing combination of consonants at the beginning of his surname." --The New York Times Book Review
"[A]n awareness has grown that Krzhizhanovsky belongs with the best of the Russian prose writers who came to maturity in the post-Revolutionary decade. Like them, he sought and developed a new aesthetic in an altered world; and like them, he was soon thrown back on himself." --Oliver Ready, Times Literary Supplement
