The Town of N

Leonid Dobychin's Town of N, an unrecognized masterpiece of the Soviet 1930s, virtually vanished, together with its author, following publication in 1935 and the subsequent vilification of Dobychin by the Leningrad cultural authorities. Now, more than half a century later, this short masterpiece has been rediscovered, first in Russia in 1989, and now in this first English translation.
