{"product_id":"memories-of-the-future-9781590173190","title":"Memories of the Future","description":"Written in Soviet Moscow in the 1920s--but considered too subversive even to show to a publisher--the seven tales included here attest to Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky's boundless imagination, black humor, and breathtaking irony: a man loses his way in the vast black waste of his own small room; the Eiffel Tower runs amok; a kind soul dreams of selling \"everything you need for suicide\"; an absentminded passenger boards the wrong train, winding up in a place where night is day, nightmares are the reality, and the backs of all facts have been broken; a man out looking for work comes across a line for logic but doesn't join it as there's no guarantee the logic will last; a sociable corpse misses his own funeral; an inventor gets a glimpse of the far-from-radiant communist future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590173190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.22w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/18\/2009 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/25\/2009 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/23\/2011 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917286084789,"sku":"9781590173190","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fd40983e-a190-4674-8f92-4046455f8ccb.jpg?v=1687281549","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/memories-of-the-future-9781590173190","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
