Autobiography of a Corpse (New York Review Books Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
An NYRB Classics Original

The stakes are wildly high in Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskyâ€™s fantastic and blackly comic philosophical fables, which abound in nested narratives and wild paradoxes. This new collection of eleven mind-bending and spellbinding tales includes some of Krzhizhanovskyâ€™s most dazzling conceits: a provincial journalist who moves to Moscow finds his existence consumed by the autobiography of his roomâ€™s previous occupant; the fingers of a celebrated pianistâ€™s right hand run away to spend a night alone on the city streets; a manâ€™s lifelong quest to bite his own elbow inspires both a hugely popular circus act and a new refutation of Kant. Ordinary reality cracks open before our eyes in the pages of Autobiography of a Corpse, and the extraordinary spills out.
