In the 20th century, the old order was gradually collapsing, the world was hurtling toward catastrophe, and logic, contrary to its own laws, was breeding chaos and violence. It was at this moment that the dazzling Star of Nonsense rose over gloomy Petersburg. Artists, poets, and philosophers sought refuge in the absurd and the wondrous. Contrary to popular belief, the tradition of zaum did not end with the deaths of Kharms and Vvedensky—it grew through the strata of official art and remains alive today. In this book, previously disunited zaumniks and illogicalists, including Mikhail Matyushin, Maria and Boris Ender, Daniil Kharms, Yakov Druskin, Tatyana Glebova and Vladimir Sterligov, Yevgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko, Vladimir Erl, Boris Kudryakov, Oleg Grigoriev, Oleg Kotelnikov, and Vadim Ovchinnikov, come together. And of course, St. Petersburg, which inspired and united all these people, is also a full-fledged hero of this book.
"Zaumny Petersburg" is a brilliant study, written with great love for its characters. This is the first attempt to write a history of St. Petersburg zaum, tracing its origins and development.
