Anatoly Borisovich Mariengof (1897-1962) is better known to modern readers as the author of novels and memoirs, but he began as an imagist poet, expressing his attitudes to the changes taking place in the country through outrageous, often scandalous images. His theory and poetry were reinforced by practice—the imagists' antics resounded throughout Moscow. This period was also marked by Mariengof's friendship with another poet and "hooligan," Sergei Yesenin. Yesenin became the protagonist of his "Novel Without Lies" (1926) and the recipient of many of his poems.

This edition includes all of Anatoly Mariengof's "great" prose: the memoir "Novel Without Lies"; "Cynics" (1928) is a novel that, according to Joseph Brodsky, is "one of the most innovative works in Russian fiction of this century"; the no less "cynical" "The Shaven Man" (1929), as well as a sample of his later work, the historical novel "Catherine" (1936). The book also includes poems from various years, along with the programmatic article on Imagism "Buyan Island," the tragedy "Conspiracy of Fools," and memoirs, including the extensive narrative "My Century, My Youth, My Friends" in the author's final version of 1960.
