Summary: 5 Stars
Zaum: The Transrational Poetry of Russian Futurism | Gerald Janecek | ISBN 1-879691-41-8 | paper, 428 pp. | illustrated | US $25 | list price | This is the most comprehensive treatment of a significant episode of the historical avant-garde period to which many refer but with little concrete background. According to Charlotte Douglas (Russian and Slavic Studies, NYU), Zaum "is an encyclopedic account of zaum or 'beyonsense,' the most distinctive feature of Russian avant-garde art and poetry early in the 20th century. Janecek has mined a myriad of arcane and inaccessible sources, gathered the entire historical record in one place, and made it readable and comprehensible. His account of zaum theory and practice will be indispensable for anyone interested in modern poetry and art. Certainly it will become a standard text for all students of Russian Futurism. Gerald J. Janecek is Professor of Russian at the University of Kentucky.
