Memories of the Future by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
delicious selection of krzhizhanovsky's !Russian silver age short stories ! especially the first & last. Do go look if you like bulgakov, esp his Heart of the Dog era. Or most any silvers! Tho this absolutely pre-dates much of Bulgy. Whiffs of kafka too in the first, 'Quadraturin', which I love to see. nice to think about this evolutionary Dostoevsky-kafka line... we won't be so simple
unexpectedly, Kant is a theme. huh.
The last, longest story gives us the title! ANd is very literally a time travel/machine narrative, from the 1920s. only it's keen to also establish the SCIENCE of the matter & set it amid the chaos of ww1 & the russian civil war and so forth,, what a bizarre & ambitious number for a little short story but it ? works? ? miracle
